In a small saucepan, combine the white rice, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, still covered, for 5 minutes. Done when water is absorbed and rice is tender.
While the rice rests, coat a 12-inch skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and sauté for 4 minutes until the edges are starting to brown.
Add the shrimp, garlic, red pepper flakes, the remaining salt, and the black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the shrimp are pink and opaque throughout. Done when opaque throughout, 145°F.
Pour the lemon juice into the skillet and stir for 30 seconds to coat the shrimp and zucchini. Fluff the rice with a fork and plate it alongside the shrimp and zucchini.
