Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Add the shrimp to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Stir in lemon juice and zest, ensuring the shrimp are well-coated. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Scampi Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet, tossing them in the scampi sauce. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the shrimp and sauce.
Serve: If serving with pasta, cook the linguine or your choice of pasta according to package instructions. Plate the cooked pasta and top with the Shrimp Scampi.
