Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the dry linguine until al dente. Reserve 0.25 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, pat the raw shrimp dry with paper towels and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Place the shrimp in the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Add the lemon juice, cooked linguine, and reserved pasta water to the skillet.
Toss the mixture continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce emulsifies and coats the pasta strands.
Remove from heat, stir in the chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
