LET'S GET COOKING!
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving tail-on. In a medium bowl, mix 2 Tbsp. olive oil, 2 cloves crushed garlic and salt. Add shrimp, toss, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 Tbsp. of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 1 minute per side, stirring often and being careful to fully cook the shrimp and not to burn the garlic. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
Add the 2 cloves sliced garlic and crushed red pepper to skillet and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add wine and lemon juice, stirring often and simmer until reduced by half. Lower heat and add butter. Swirl pan until butter is just melted, about 2 minutes.
Put shrimp and its cooking juices back into the skillet. Toss to coat with sauce and continue cooking until shrimp are cooked, about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer to a plate and garnish with parsley and lemon zest. Serve with warm crusty baguette.
