Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the dry linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the ghee and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Increase heat to medium-high and add the raw prawns in a single layer, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper.
Cook the prawns for 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque, then stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water, and add both to the skillet with the prawns.
Toss everything together until the sauce coats the noodles, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
