Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil (1 tablespoon for 4 quarts of water). Cook 1 pound linguine according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 tablespoons salted butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add 1 pound raw shrimp to the skillet, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Stir continuously and cook until the shrimp just turns pink, about 2 minutes.
Pour in 1/2 cup white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, letting the flavors combine.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
