Bring water and half the salt to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook for 10 minutes until tender. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
While the pasta cooks, melt half the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, red pepper flakes, and the remaining salt. Cook for 2 minutes, flip, and cook for 2 minutes more until opaque. Move the shrimp to a plate. Done when opaque in the center, 145°F.
Reduce the heat to medium. Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and the reserved pasta water. Simmer for 1 minute to lightly thicken.
Return the shrimp to the skillet along with the cooked pasta and parsley. Toss for 1 minute until the sauce coats the noodles, adding a splash more water if it looks dry.
