Creating this spicy shrimp and avocado rice bowl is simple. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2. Prepare the Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, soy sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to ensure the shrimp are fully coated.
3. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: While the shrimp is cooking, dice the avocado, cucumber, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Place them in a mixing bowl.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add lime juice, salt, and chopped cilantro to the vegetable mix. Gently toss to combine.
6. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a base of rice. Add a generous portion of the cooked shrimp on top of the rice.
7. Add Avocado and Vegetables: Arrange the diced avocado, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes artfully around the shrimp.
8. Final Touches: Garnish with optional toppings such as sesame seeds, extra sriracha, or sliced green onions for an added kick.
9. Serve: Enjoy your spicy shrimp and avocado rice bowl while it’s fresh and warm!
