Shrimp scampi is a popular seafood dish that features shrimp cooked in a flavorful sauce made primarily of garlic, butter, and white wine. The dish is often seasoned with lemon juice, parsley, and red pepper flakes, giving it a bright and zesty flavor. It is typically served over pasta or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. This dish is commonly associated with Italian-American cuisine, although its origins can be traced back to Italy. The term "scampi" originally referred to a type of small lobster, but in the United States, it has come to mean shrimp prepared in this style. Shrimp scampi is enjoyed for its rich taste and quick preparation time.
