Wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the @red onion{1%unit}; finely dice the remaining half. Zest one @lime{2%units} and quarter both. Roughly chop @cilantro{1%bunch}. Dice @tomato{2%units} into 1⁄4-inch pieces. Halve, core, and chop half the @bell pepper{1%unit} into 1⁄4-inch pieces. Drain @corn{½%cup}. Drain and rinse @black beans{1%cup}. Mince @jalapeño{1%unit}, removing ribs and seeds for less heat.

In a #medium bowl{}, combine sliced onion, juice from one lime, and 1⁄2 tsp @sugar{½%tsp}. Microwave until onion is bright pink ~{30%seconds}. Let cool slightly. Stir in @shredded red cabbage{2%cup}, half the @sour cream{4%tbsp}, and half the cilantro; season with @salt{1%tsp} and @black pepper{1%tsp}.

In a #small bowl{}, combine @guacamole{1%cup}, remaining sour cream, and half the lime zest. Season with salt and pepper.

Rinse @shrimp{8%oz} under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Season all over with remaining mexican spice blend, salt, and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a #large pan{} over high heat. Once pan is hot, add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through ~{4%minutes}. Remove pan from heat; add remaining lime zest and toss until shrimp are evenly coated.
