Boil salted water in a large skillet over high heat. Add tagliolini and cook until al dente, ~8 minutes.

Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain pasta and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium-high. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper. Sear 90 seconds per side until opaque and edges curl.

Add cooked pasta, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 1 tbsp butter. Toss over medium heat, adding pasta water until sauce coats the noodles.
