Prep 15 min · Cook 15 min

In a small pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Done when tender and water is absorbed.
While the rice simmers, heat half the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and a splash of water, cover, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove the beans from the pan and set aside. Done when bright green and tender-crisp.
Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Season the dry shrimp with the remaining salt and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Done when browned on the bottom.
Flip the shrimp. Immediately add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan. Cook for 45 seconds more until the shrimp are opaque and the garlic is fragrant. Remove the pan from the heat. Done when opaque and firm, 145°F.
Return the green beans to the skillet and stir in the lemon juice to coat. Fluff the rice with a fork and spoon it into a bowl. Top with the garlic shrimp and green beans, pouring any juices from the pan over the top.
