Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the shrimp. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, if using, and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the white wine and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine with the pasta and sauce.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
