Bake Tortillas
Preheat oven to 350F.

Add a small amount of oil (~ 1 tbsp in total) to each tortilla and spread using a brush.
Flip tortillas over and repeat.
Place in oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Marinate Shrimp
If they aren't already, defrost shrimp. You can do so by putting them in a bowl of cold water.
Once defrosted, pat dry with paper towel and place in a bowl.
Add 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp each of cumin, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Mix to coat shrimp and set aside.
Assemble Salad
In a small bowl, add 1 avocado and 1 medium tomato sliced into cubes.
Finely dice 1/4 red onion and add to bowl.
Finish with a handful of cilantro, chopped, the juice of 1 lime and salt and pepper to taste. Mix to combine.
Cook Shrimp and Assemble
Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat. Add remaining tablespoon of oil.
Add shrimp to pan and cook, 1-3 minutes per side.
