Step 3: To a bowl, transfer the mixture. Rinse and pat dry the pan using a paper towel. Put the pan back to the heat and spray with cooking spray or drizzle with about a tsp vegetable oil.
Step 4: In the pan, lay the tortilla and sprinkle the cheese on one side. On the tortilla, spoon enough (around) 5 to 6 shrimp and sprinkle with more cheese. In half, fold the tortilla.
