Add shrimp and immediately season with crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Continue sauteing the shrimp with the garlic for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until pink on both sides and no longer opaque.
Add in the chicken stock, wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and stir to combine. Let the mixture continue cooking for an additional minute to boil down, then remove from heat.
Drain the pasta, and serve topped with the shrimp scampi. Sprinkle with desired toppings.
