Turns out, bacon, lettuce, and tomato is just the beginning of a great sandwich, not the end. Who knew? Our chefs knew. They knew that if you added a nice helping of rich, creamy guacamole, and sweet, tender shrimp, you level up the BLT into something magical and delightful. Order this one up, and you'll know what we mean.
