Instructions

- Season the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry, then toss with blackened seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Sauté the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. Squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp before removing from heat.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide lettuce between serving bowls. Add red kidney beans, sliced cucumber, corn, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
- Add the Shrimp: Top each bowl with cooked shrimp and a scoop of guacamole.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle tortilla strips over the top and serve with fresh lime wedges. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of blackened seasoning.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days (keep shrimp separate for best texture).
For added protein, double the shrimp or add grilled tofu for a plant-based twist.
Swap lettuce for brown rice or quinoa for a heartier base.
