Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once water is boiling, add pasta to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.
Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water (2 cups for 4 servings), then drain.
Meanwhile, wash and dry produce.
Trim and slice mushrooms into ½-inch-thick pieces (skip this step if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate garlic.
Rinse shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, salt, and pepper. Cook, turning occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate.
Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 3-5 minutes.
Add scallion whites and cook until softened, 1-2 minutes.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.
To pan with mushrooms, add drained pasta, cream cheese, 2 TBSP butter, and ½ cup reserved pasta cooking water (4 TBSP butter and ¾ cup pasta cooking water for 4 servings). (For 4, if pan is too small, carefully transfer everything to pot used for pasta.) Stir to combine and cook until sauce has thickened, 3-4 minutes.
Stir in ketchup, shrimp, and half the chili flakes. Turn off heat; add ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4), stirring continuously until liquid has reduced and pasta is coated in sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide pasta between bowls. Top with scallion greens and remaining chili flakes and serve.
