Steps:
- For the shrimp: Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Combine the paprika, garlic, onion powder, sugar, salt, coriander, black pepper and cayenne in a bowl. Melt the butter in small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the spice mixture and cook until fragrant, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Let cool, then toss the shrimp with the butter and spices and let sit for 15 minutes.
- Lay the bacon across grates of a grill and grill until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside on paper-towel-lined plate.
- Grill the shrimp until charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Let rest, then chop each shrimp into 3 smaller chunks.
- For the remoulade: Mix together the mayonnaise, capers, hot sauce, lemon juice, mustard, parsley, relish and garlic in a bowl and season with salt and black pepper.
- Mix together the avocados, tomatoes and orange juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Schmear a tablespoon of remoulade on each tortilla and top with avocado and tomatoes, 2 slices of bacon and some grilled shrimp. Tightly wrap and serve with extra remoulade for dipping.

Steps:
- Prepare rice according to the package directions.
- In a 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
- Saute shrimp, onion, garlic, and cajun seasoning for 3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink.
- Add pasta sauce; stir until heated through.
- Add cooked rice and stir to mix.
- Spoon 1/2 cup filling onto each tortilla; roll up and serve warm.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to cook it just until it's pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your dish. Some good options include cucumber, avocado, carrots, and red cabbage.
- Make sure your wraps are tight. This will help to keep the filling inside and prevent the wraps from falling apart.
- Serve immediately. Cajun shrimp cucumber wraps are best served fresh.
