Shrimp scampi

Serves 4 | Prep 5 mins | Cook 10 mins

Fun Fact: Shrimp Scampi is an amalgamation of many different traditional Italian preparations of scampi (otherwise known as langoustines, Dublin Bay prawns, or Norway Lobsters). Therefore, there isn’t one correct way in which to make it. Try swapping out the pasta in our recipes for rice, or even just a loaf of crusty bread.
