Start by rinsing the wild rice under cold water and draining it.
In a medium saucepan, combine the wild rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
Drizzle lemon juice and sprinkle lemon zest over the cooked shrimp. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve the lemon garlicky shrimp over a bed of cooked wild rice, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
