If you instantly showed your cards when he showed his, I would say this was not a slowroll. At the same time, it was bad live etiquette.  If you know you have the best possible hand on the board, good etiquette requires you to just show your hand and allow the other player to save some face and muck.

You're playing $1/$2 with a 50xbb buy-in.  This isn't a serious life-changing game. It is supposed to be a fun and light experience.  Knowing what that player might shove with in that spot might be very, very small +EV.  Honestly, with an SPR under 1.5, his shoving range is so wide as to be meaningless. But, demonstrating such poor etiquette probably has a large enough negative effect on the rest of the table, that it's overall -EV.

You've just shown the table that you're not there to have fun with them.  You're there to win money and possibly embarrass them.  They'll be less inclined to gamble it up with you, because they know you might force them to expose their bad play to the entire table.
