Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a small pot, combine the rice and water; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
While the rice cooks, pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1 minute until the garlic is golden and fragrant.
Remove the skillet from the heat and toss the shrimp with the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest.
Once the rice is finished, fluff it with a fork and stir in the chopped parsley and cilantro.
Serve the garlic shrimp immediately over the warm, herbed rice.
