In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it 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. Add the asparagus and sauté for 5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
Add the shrimp and garlic to the skillet. Season with the remaining salt and black pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes, flip, and cook for 2 minutes more until the shrimp are opaque and pink. Done when opaque and curled, 145°F.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley to coat. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve the shrimp and asparagus over the rice.
