Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add the shrimp and toss until evenly coated. Let it marinate while you prepare other ingredients.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha (to taste), and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
In serving bowls, layer cooked rice as a base. Top with cooked shrimp, shredded carrots, avocado slices, cucumber slices, and chopped green onions. Drizzle with spicy mayo and soy sauce if desired. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added crunch.
