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, mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley.
Heat the ghee and extra virgin 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 about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp in a single layer, seasoning them with sea salt and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and succulent.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water, then drain the linguine and add it directly to the skillet with the shrimp.
Stir in the lemon juice, fresh parsley, and reserved pasta water, tossing everything together for 1 minute to coat the noodles thoroughly.
