Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh sieve. In a small pot, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes. Done when tender and water is absorbed.
While the rice rests, heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the shrimp very dry and season with half the salt and all of the black pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes, flip, and add the minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes more until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Done when opaque and firm, 145°F.
Turn off the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, the remaining salt, and the chopped parsley to coat the shrimp. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve the shrimp and its pan juices over the rice.
