Prep 10 min · Cook 10 min

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the brown rice spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and ghee until melted and shimmering.
Place the shrimp in the skillet in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then transfer them to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 30 seconds until the aroma is fragrant but the garlic is not browned.
Pour in the white wine and lemon juice to deglaze the pan, simmering for 1 minute to allow the liquid to reduce slightly.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
Add the cooked pasta, shrimp, and reserved pasta water to the skillet, tossing everything together for 1 minute to coat the noodles in the silky sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
