Shrimp Pinwheels

 The trick is to roll the wraps very tight. If not you won't be able to cut them nicely. Don't just roll them up or you will squish the contents out. You need to lift the part you're rolling and drag it back until its tight.From The Better Homes and Garden web site.

Prep: 30 minutes
Chill: 1 hour

Shrimp Pinwheels
ingredients

    * 1 ripe Avocado, halved, seeded, and peeled
    * 1/2  of an 8-oz. pkg. Low Fat Cream Cheese, softened
    * 1/4 cup Catsup
    * 1 Tbsp. prepared Horseradish
    * 1  tsp. finely shredded Lemon peel
    * 2   Tbsp. Lemon Juice
    * 1/2  tsp. Chili Powder
    * 6  9- to 10-inch red, green, and/or plain Flour Tortillas
    * 3  cups shredded Spinach leaves
    * 2/3  cup smoked Almonds, chopped
    * 10 oz. peeled and deveined cooked Shrimp, chopped

      Party picks (optional)

Directions

1. In a medium bowl mash avocado with a fork. Add cheese; stir until smooth. Stir in catsup, horseradish, lemon peel, lemon juice, and chili powder.

2. On one tortilla spread 1/4 cup of the avocado mixture, leaving 1-inch border around the edges. Top with a layer of spinach. Sprinkle with a scant 2 tablespoons almonds and about 1/4 cup shrimp. Roll up tightly. Secure with a party pick, if necessary, to prevent unrolling. Repeat with remaining tortillas, avocado mixture, spinach, almonds, and shrimp.

3. Place rolled tortillas on a tray or platter. Cover and chill up to 4 hours before serving. To serve, cut each rolled tortilla into 1-inch slices, discarding ends. Secure with party picks, if necessary. Arrange slices on a serving platter. Makes about 36 slices.
