Drain the canned escargots and rinse them well under cold running water. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and set it aside.
Finely chop the garlic, shallots, and parsley. Set the parsley aside for garnish.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the escargots to the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring gently to coat them in the shallot and garlic mixture.
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the white wine. Allow it to simmer for 3–4 minutes, reducing slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter in small pieces, stirring until melted and emulsified into the sauce. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan, tossing gently to coat it evenly in the buttery escargot sauce. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately, optionally topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for added richness.
