Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a pot, cover, and cook over medium heat until the water is absorbed (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and set aside.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook, gently stirring, until scrambled and just set. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, stirring well to combine. Return the scrambled eggs and shrimp to the skillet, folding them into the rice.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the dish and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
