Pat shrimp completely dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 90 seconds, until pink on one side. Flip and cook 60 seconds more. Remove shrimp immediately — they should be just barely cooked.

Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter and olive oil to the same pan. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes until garlic is lightly golden but not brown. Pour in wine and lemon juice. Let bubble vigorously for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Add drained pasta to the pan. Toss with tongs, adding pasta water as needed to create a glossy, emulsified sauce. Return shrimp to the pan, add lemon zest and parsley. Toss everything together and serve immediately — scampi waits for no one.
