Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the 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, 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 baby spinach until just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and add the noodles to the skillet with the shrimp.
Toss everything together with the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley, adding a bit of pasta water if needed to emulsify the sauce.
