Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the dry linguine until al dente, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
While the pasta cooks, pat the raw shrimp dry with paper towels and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and ghee over medium heat until the ghee is melted and shimmering.
Add the minced raw garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and translucent.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp in a single layer, cooking for 2 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water, then drain the linguine.
Add the cooked linguine, reserved pasta water, and lemon juice to the skillet, tossing everything together for 1 minute to coat the noodles in the sauce.
Remove from heat, garnish with fresh chopped raw parsley, and serve immediately.
