0 Boil the pasta per instructions and reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
1 In a pan over medium heat, melt 1/2 tbsp of butter with 1/2 tbsp of oil. Once it's hot enough add shrimp. Season with salt and pepper and let it cook for 1-2 minutes before flipping it over. Let it cook for another 1-2minutes. Remove from the pan.
2 Turn heat down to medium low and pour in olive oil. Add sliced garlic and chili flakes. 
3 Let that cook for a minute before adding 2 tbsp butter. Once the butter melts, stir and let it cook for another minute.
4 Once the mixture is gently simmering, add salt, sugar, parmesan, lemon juice, lemon zest and parsley. Stir then pour in pasta water. Stir and bring to a simmer.
5 Once simmering, add the pasta and stir until well combined. Add shrimp and stir then turn off the heat (see notes). Optional step: add 1 tbsp of butter and stir until it melts.
6 Add more parsley, parmesan and chili flakes on top when serving. Enjoy!
