About Scampi sauce

Scampi sauce is a flavorful accompaniment typically used in Italian-American cuisine, often paired with shrimp or pasta dishes. This rich and buttery sauce combines olive oil or butter with garlic, white wine, lemon juice, and parsley for a tangy and aromatic profile. Some variations may include red pepper flakes for heat or chicken stock for added depth. While scampi sauce provides a good source of healthy fats from olive oil and antioxidants from garlic and parsley, its nutritional value depends on preparation. Using butter or excessive salt can increase saturated fat and sodium content, making moderation key. Its vibrant, zesty flavors lend themselves well to seafood-based meals, celebrating Mediterranean influences while offering a customizable foundation for various dishes.
