Begin by preparing the shrimp. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel, then season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until opaque and slightly golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
While the bacon and shrimp cool slightly, combine mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl to make a simple lemon mayo spread.
Toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispness using a toaster or skillet.
Assemble the sandwich: Spread the lemon mayo evenly onto one side of each slice of toasted bread. Start layering with romaine lettuce, followed by tomato slices, crispy bacon, and cooked shrimp.
Top with the second slice of bread, slice the sandwich diagonally if desired, and serve immediately.
