Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the ghee and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the fat is shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until the aroma is fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp in a single layer, cooking for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the linguine.
Add the cooked linguine, lemon juice, and reserved pasta water to the skillet, tossing thoroughly to coat the noodles in the sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving immediately.
