Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine or your choice of pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and chicken or seafood stock, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the artichoke hearts, cooked shrimp, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, coating it in the sauce. If the mixture appears too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley.
Serve the Mushroom Artichoke Shrimp Scampi immediately, garnished with Parmesan cheese if desired.
