Did you know scampi is a Venetian dialect word for a local prawn, rarely found in American markets. So Italian-American cooks use shrimp instead, cooking it with a little garlic.


I'm making this tonight, I'll let you know how it turns out!!!


OMG this was delish!!!!!! was easy to make, we made speg noodles and put it over them. will definatly make this over and over again!!


Thank you for a lighter version of a favorite dish! I had this with "Michael's Caesar Salad", and garlic bread. The family has asked me to make this meal a regular. Thanks again!

PS- You can't go wrong with fresh strawberries for dessert ;-)


We love shrimp scampi and can't wait to try this.
