Shrimp Scampi






Shrimp scampi is a dish that originated in Europe. In the USA, "scampi" is often the menu name for shrimp in Italian-American. The term "scampi", by itself, is also the name of a dish of shrimp served in garlic butter and dry white wine, served either with bread, or over pasta or rice. The word "scampi" is often construed as that style of preparation rather than an ingredient, and with variants such as "chicken scampi".
