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. Drain, reserving a splash of the pasta water.
While the pasta boils, heat the olive oil and half the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with the remaining salt and cook for 2 minutes, flip, and cook for 2 minutes more. Done when opaque and pink, 145°F.
Whisk in the lemon juice, the remaining butter, and the reserved pasta water. Stir in the cooked pasta and parsley, tossing for 1 minute until the sauce coats the noodles.
