Shrimp Scampi is a classic Italian-American dish that has become a staple in seafood cuisine. The dish originated in Italy, where it was traditionally made with langoustine, but evolved in the United States to feature shrimp as the main ingredient. The dish is known for its rich, garlicky, and buttery sauce, often enhanced with white wine, lemon juice, and parsley. Chefs like Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali have popularized their own versions of Shrimp Scampi, adding their unique twists to the recipe. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in Italian restaurants across the United States, particularly in coastal regions known for their fresh seafood. The key to a perfect Shrimp Scampi lies in using high-quality shrimp, fresh garlic, and a balance of flavors in the sauce. While the traditional method involves sautéing the shrimp in the sauce, some chefs also bake or broil the dish for a delicious alternative. Whether enjoyed over pasta or with crusty bread, Shrimp Scampi continues to delight diners with its irresistible flavors and timeless appeal.
