Traditionally Scampi is made using Dublin Bay Prawns deep fried in breadcrumbs.



In Reality it is any old rubbish seafood that a food manufacturer wishes to use, mashed up, shaped and breadcrumbed. In the UK there are no laws to define what the product must consist of

Scampi is the plural of scampo, the Italian name for the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus), also known by the names "Dublin Bay Prawn" and "Langoustine". The fleshy tail of the Norway lobster is good eating, closer in both taste and texture to lobster and crayfish than prawn or shrimp. In the United Kingdom, the term scampi is used to describe a dish of shelled tail meat, coated in breadcrumbs or batter, deep fried and often served with chips and Tartar sauce. In the Southern Hemisphere, other species of lobster are used instead, such as Metanephrops challengeri.



In the USA, the term scampi is used as the name for a dish of shrimp served in Garlic butter. In some areas, the term has come to refer to the sauce of garlic, butter, and chopped tomatoes which can be served with other ingredients, such as "chicken scampi".

Scampi is generally reffered to as shrimp, but is actually how the food is prepared....you can have chicken scampi, for instance. It is a sauce made from garlic and butter (or olive oil), and various spices or seasonings depending on the particular recipe or what you are putting it on.

What made you feel that you needed to use the "f" word? It only showed how ignorant you are.
