In food processor bowl with metal blade, place reserved 1 teaspoon blackened seasoning, the black beans, cumin and lime juice. Cover; process with on-and-off pulses until mixed and beans are coarsely chopped.

Heat oven to 350°F. Place taco shells on cookie sheet. Divide bean mixture evenly among shells. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Meanwhile, spray large skillet with CRISCO® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; cook 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until pink. Remove taco shells from oven; place 4 cooked shrimp in each shell. Top with avocado salsa.
