Classic Shrimp Scampi: The Ultimate Recipe for a Delicious Italian-American Dish
At its core, Shrimp Scampi is a dish made of shrimp sautéed in a flavorful garlic butter sauce, often with a splash of white wine and a dash of lemon juice. The term "scampi" originally refers to a type of small lobster-like crustacean found in the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas. However, in the United States, "scampi" is commonly used to describe dishes made with shrimp cooked in the traditional manner—garlic, butter, and white wine.
