Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the dry linguine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons 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.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley.
Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant and softened.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Stir the lemon juice and reserved pasta water into the skillet to create a light, emulsified sauce.
Add the cooked linguine and fresh parsley to the skillet. Toss thoroughly for 1 minute until the pasta is coated in the garlic butter sauce and serve immediately.
