scampi
Garlic-butter shellfish dish
Scampi are small lobster-like crustaceans, or a dish of large shrimp or prawns prepared in garlic butter and white wine.
In American restaurants, shrimp scampi typically means shrimp sautéed in this garlicky butter sauce, often served over pasta: We ordered the shrimp scampi as an appetizer.
