Fill a large pot with the water and half the salt, then bring to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook for 9 to 11 minutes until al dente. Reserve a small splash of pasta water, then drain the noodles.
While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Add the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the garlic butter. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until the shrimp are heated through and well coated in butter. Done when opaque and hot.
