Instructions
Cook linguine in salted boiling water according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.
While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chili flakes, cooking 1 minute until fragrant.
Add shrimp and toss just until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add drained pasta to the skillet along with lemon zest, lemon juice, and parsley. Toss everything together, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately, topped with grated parmesan if desired.
