Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with sea salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the grass-fed butter along with the extra virgin olive oil.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water, then drain the linguine.
Add the cooked linguine, reserved pasta water, lemon juice, and fresh parsley to the skillet with the shrimp.
Toss everything together for 1 minute until the sauce coats the pasta evenly, then serve immediately.
