Shrimp Scampi is a classic Italian-American dish featuring succulent shrimp sautéed in a flavorful blend of garlic, butter, olive oil, and white wine, often finished with fresh parsley and a splash of lemon juice for added brightness. Traditionally served over pasta or with crusty bread, this dish combines rich, savory flavors with aromatic herbs. Shrimp Scampi boasts a high protein content thanks to the shrimp, along with essential nutrients such as selenium and vitamin B12. The olive oil and garlic contribute heart-healthy fats and antioxidants, but the dish can be calorie-dense due to the generous use of butter and possible cream in some variations. To make it lighter, consider reducing the butter or substituting whole-grain pasta. Its quick preparation and indulgent flavors make Shrimp Scampi a popular choice, whether you’re enjoying a cozy dinner at home or impressing guests at a gathering.
