Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, peel and devein the shrimp, then pat them completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear.
Heat the ghee and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the ghee is melted and shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Increase heat to medium-high and add the shrimp in a single layer, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque, then stir in the fresh lemon juice.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water, then drain the linguine and add it directly to the skillet with the shrimp.
Toss everything together with the fresh parsley and reserved pasta water, ensuring the noodles are glossy and well-coated before serving.
