Cook the Rice: Bring water and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
Cook the Shrimp: Grill or pan-sear the shrimp over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among bowls. Top with the cooked shrimp, avocado slices, and drizzle with the sriracha mayo sauce. Serve immediately.
You can substitute brown rice or quinoa for the white rice for a healthier option.
Adjust the level of sriracha sauce in the mayo to suit your spice preference.
For added texture, you can sprinkle some sesame seeds or chopped cilantro on top before serving
