shrimp scampi

Buttery garlic prawns

Shrimp scampi is a dish of shrimp sautéed in butter, garlic, and white wine, typically served over pasta or with crusty bread.

The name is redundant—scampi are a type of crustacean in Italian—but in American usage, scampi has come to mean the garlicky butter-wine preparation itself: The shrimp scampi here is excellent.
