Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil and ghee 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 about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp in a single layer, cooking for 2 minutes per side until they turn opaque and pink.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and the reserved pasta water, then add the cooked linguine and fresh parsley to the skillet.
Toss everything together for 1 minute until the pasta is well-coated in the sauce and serve immediately.
