Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. of the butter and the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook over medium-low heat 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add shrimp, lemon zest, salt and crushed red pepper; saute over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes until shrimp is just cooked through. Stir in lemon juice; remove from heat.
Pour shrimp mixture over drained pasta; add remaining 1/2 Tbsp. butter, the parsley and about 1/2 cup of the cooking water (more if desired). Toss to mix and coat.
