Stack 3 rings on top of each other, brushing top of each with egg wash; bake 15 minutes. Toss shrimp with crushed red pepper, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Sauté shrimp in 2 teaspoons olive oil for 2 minutes; set aside. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to pan, and sauté carrot, celery, mushrooms, and thyme sprigs for 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and flour; stir for 2 minutes. Add wine; simmer for 2 minutes. Add milk, and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Stir in shrimp and 1/4 teaspoon salt and white pepper.
