Instructions

Cook the rice according to package instructions if you haven't already done so.
Place the shrimp in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, thyme, oregano, and cayenne. Sprinkle this mixture over the shrimp and mix well.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add the shrimp and cook for about 4 minutes, until they turn pink. Remove from heat, and stir in half of the BBQ sauce to combine.
To assemble, evenly divide the rice into two bowls. Add half of the cooked shrimp to each bowl. Top with sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, and diced avocado.
Finish by drizzling a bit more BBQ sauce over each bowl before serving.

Notes

For added heat, include the optional cayenne pepper in the spice mix.
Feel free to substitute brown rice or quinoa for a different grain option.
Customize your bowls with your favorite toppings like green onions or sliced radishes.
