Bring water and half the salt to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook for 9 to 11 minutes until al dente.
While pasta cooks, melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Do not overcook. Done when shrimp is pink and opaque, 145°F.
Drain the pasta and transfer it to the skillet. Add the lemon juice, chopped parsley, and the remaining salt. Toss well to coat the pasta in the garlic butter sauce.
