Instructions

Cook the rice according to package instructions.
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with the spice mix made from paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, thyme, oregano, and cayenne.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the shrimp, cooking until pink, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in half of the BBQ sauce.
Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked rice into two bowls, and adding the shrimp evenly between them. Top with sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, and avocado.
Drizzle each bowl with additional BBQ sauce before serving.
