Scaloppini is very thin sliced meat not as thin as ham but thinner than the regular cut of meat, you can have any kind of meat Scaloppini including pork, chicken, turkey and meat but usually not fish.
Here is a recipe:
1 1/3 pounds veal cutlets or scaloppini
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh rosemary and garlic to taste
Salt
Lightly pound the cutlets to flatten them out, salt them lightly, and marinate them in the lemon juice and a tablespoon of the olive oil for a half hour.
When it comes time to cook them heat the marinade, oil, and herbs to taste in a skillet, and when the mixture is bubbling briskly add the meat.
Cook briskly, turning the meat once, and finish cooking it over a more moderate flame, sprinkling it with more lemon juice if need be. The cooking time should be quick, just a few minutes.
enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scallopini is usually a very garlicky butter sauce with parsley used to saute (or brown) shrimp.
Oops, sorry folks. I was thinking of scampi. TEN LASHES WITH A WET NOODLE!
