Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a small pot, combine the rice with 0.66 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
While the rice is simmering, mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley and cilantro.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season them evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Heat the olive oil and ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the ghee is melted and shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer.
Sear the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque. Add the minced garlic during the last 60 seconds of cooking, stirring constantly so it becomes fragrant without burning.
Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the juice of the half lemon over the shrimp, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Once the rice has absorbed all the water, fluff it with a fork and fold in the chopped parsley and cilantro.
Portion the herbed rice onto a plate and top with the garlic shrimp and the remaining pan sauce.
