Step 1
Make the blackened rub by mixing together all the ingredients. Rub shrimp with 3 tsp of the seasoning mix and coat chicken breast with the rest.
Step 2
In a hot skillet, add bacon and cook until crisp. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with towel paper to drain.
Step 3
In the same skillet with bacon fat, add in chicken breast and cook over medium high heat for 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
Step 4
Remove chicken to the same plate with the bacon. Add shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes each side or until shrimp turn opaque. Add shrimp to the plate with the chicken while you make the dressing.
Step 5
To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a glass jar, tighten the lid on and shake until everything is well combined.

Divide lettuce, microgreens, tomatoes, avocado egg, bacon, cheese, chopped chicken breast and shrimp among 4 plates or bowls. Drizzle on dressing and devour!
