As a bustling seafood lover, I find myself constantly trying to prepare restaurant-quality meals on the clock.

While researching the origin of this dish, I found it quite interesting that "scampi" are actually petite crustaceans, reminiscent of lobsters with rosy shells. In Italy, they are often cooked in a gentle simmer of olive oil, garlic, onion and white wine. However, as this dish travelled throughout the North, the scampi was exchanged for shrimp — while the tiny shellfish remained in the name.
Tender shrimp, butter, garlic and lemon. A unique yet subtle pairing of flavors that impart depth upon a bed of al dente linguine.
