Combine rice, water, and half the salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and rest, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes.
While the rice cooks, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with the remaining salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp 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 and curled into a loose C. Pull them off the heat right away. Done when opaque in the center and curled into a C, 145°F.
Fluff the rested rice with a fork and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Plate the rice and top with the garlic shrimp and any pan oils.
