Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until just pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, stirring frequently for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices, creating a rich sauce.
Stir in the lemon juice and parsley, reserving some parsley for garnish. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to reheat the shrimp.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is fully coated with the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining chopped parsley and an optional sprinkle of red chili flakes for extra heat.
