4. Sprinkle the inside of each tomato cup with a pinch of salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
5. Cut 1 ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and finely chop the flesh.
6. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped avocado, 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon tapenade, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
7. Gently mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency.
8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Fold in half of 1 cup cooked shrimp.
9. Fill each tomato cup with the avocado mixture.
10. Top each tomato cup with the remaining cooked shrimp. Sprinkle any extra shrimp and reserved tomato pulp around the cups.
11. (Optional) Finely chop 2 tablespoons of red onion and mix into the avocado filling for added flavor.
