It is much like the medical distinction between "chronic" and "acute". Shyness is a chronic discomfiture around other people, especially strangers. It is native to some people - they are simply "shy". Embarrassment is an acute feeling of discomfiture because one does not just feel shy - they also feel completely awkward or foolish in certain situations or around certain people.

Why would a shy adolescent say that she only gets embarrassed by her crush when obviously since she's genuinely shy she must get self conscious in other situations as well?

Probably because there is a difference between shyness and embarrassment. She may be shy around any boy. But she not only feels shy - she feels embarrassed - around her crush. I find it perfectly understandable.

Why would a shy girl say she is embarrassed by her crush instead of saying she is embarrassed being around him?

The shy girl may feel more comfortable attributing her embarrassment to her crush rather than admitting to feeling shy or nervous around him directly. By blaming her crush for her feelings, she can avoid the vulnerability of admitting her own emotions. Additionally, she may believe that saying she is embarrassed by him provides a clearer explanation for her behavior.
