- Working with four tortillas at a time, microwave them for 1-2 minutes.
- Quickly rub with olive oil and sprinkle one side with the spice mixture.
- Just do a sprinkle, about 1/2 teaspoon to 3/4 teaspoon, on each tortilla, reserving the rest of the spice mixture for later.
- Place tortillas on a taco mold if you have one.

- Add shrimp and about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the spice mix.
- Saute until just beginning to turn opaque in center, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer to a small bowl.
- To the same skillet, add the bell peppers and saute about 5 minutes until slightly soft but still crisp.
- Add the tomatoes and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes and then add the shrimp back into the skillet and toss well.
- Simmer 1 more minute and then remove from heat.
- Taste and add a teaspoon or so more of the spice mixture if desired.
- Fill the taco shells with the shrimp and peppers and top with cheddar cheese and avocado if desired.
