ok, here it is
In Italy, Dublin Bay prawns are called scampi, which has confused North Americans even more. In Canada and the US, scampi refers to a dish of large shrimp that are cooked with garlic and butter or olive oil.

Answer 2

I believe you mean scampi. Here's how you do it.

Scampi is the plural of scampo, the Italian name for the Norway lobster.
In the United Kingdom, scampi is used to describe shelled tail meat, coated in breadcrumbs or batter, deep fried and served with chips and Tartar sauce
In the USA, scampi is used as the name for a dish of shrimp served in garlic butter.

Here's My recipe.

36 med /large shrimp
7 x cloves garlic
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup olive oil
4 tbl lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh parsley minced
fresh ground pepper

Preheat broiler. Use a sharp knife or scissors to split the raw unshelled shrimp through lengthwise almost to the tail, leaving all the feet on and shell intact. Remove the sand veins and pat the shrimp dry. Crush the garlic with a press or cut it up and crush it. Melt the butter and stir in the garlic, oil, minced parsley, lemon juice and pepper. Holding the shrimp by the tips of the tail, dip them one at time into the butter sauce. Arrange them in a single layer in 1 or 2 flat baking dishes. Stir the remaining butter sauce and spoon it over the shrimp.
Broil for approximately 5 minutes, then turn the shrimp over the remaining 5 minutes. Broil 6 inches from heat, but watch as 5 minutes may be too much for second side. Remove shrimp as soon as the start to brown. Serve with plenty of sauce over rice or as an appetizer.

Answer 3

If you mean scampi, they are a shell fish called langoustine ( a huge prawn ). Scampi is an American term, they coat them in breadcrumbs and deep fry them, however they are so much nicer boiled live in their shells and then eaten with garlic butter.

Answer 4

I assume you mean Scampi? I have fat fingers too, and as a result I mis-type all the time too, LOL.

Scampi is the italian name for prawns.
And it's also the name used in the UK for a tasty dish made with prawns. Simply cover the prawns in breadcrumbs, fry them and serve them up with tartare sauce.
Yummy yummy in my tummy.

Answer 5

Scampi is the plural of scampo, the Italian name for the Norway lobster also known by the names "Dublin Bay Prawn" and "Langoustine". The fleshy tail of the Norway lobster is closer in both taste and texture to lobster and crayfish than prawn or shrimp. So it technically not shrimp.

Answer 6

Scanpi is just like scampi, but what you get if you put scampi on a photocopier and push the button.

Actually its cray fish tails (rather than prawns) in bread crumbs.
