Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium and cook shrimp mixture, being careful not to let shrimp or garlic brown, until shrimp is pink but still slightly underdone, about ⏱️ 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving as much oil in pan as possible. Add 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced, and ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes to skillet and cook, tossing, until fragrant, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Add ¼ cup dry white wine and 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Add ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter and cook, stirring and swirling pan occasionally, until butter is melted and sauce is thickened, about ⏱️ 5 minutes more.
