About Scampi

Scampi is a dish traditionally featuring shrimp or langoustines sautéed in butter, olive oil, garlic, white wine, and often finished with lemon juice and parsley. Originating from Italian seafood cuisine, the term “scampi” refers to the crustaceans itself in Italy but has evolved to describe this flavorful preparation in English-speaking countries. Scampi offers a rich source of protein and essential nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and phosphorus from the shrimp, making it a healthy seafood option. However, its richness in butter and oil can contribute to higher calories and saturated fat, depending on preparation methods. Pairing scampi with whole-grain pasta or steamed vegetables can balance nutritional value while preserving its delectable taste. Ideal for those who enjoy classic Mediterranean flavors, scampi is a dish that blends indulgence with nutritional benefits when enjoyed in moderation.
