Fill a large pot with the water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for 9 to 11 minutes until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of the cooking water.
While the pasta boils, pat the shrimp dry. Heat the olive oil and half the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes, flip, and cook for 1 minute more. Done when opaque and pink, 145°F.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining butter.
Add the cooked pasta and the chopped parsley to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the noodles in the sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to loosen it.
