what does it mean '' scampi'' is an italian sause made from lobster?

Answer 1

In the USA, "scampi" is often the menu name for shrimp in Italian-American cuisine. "Scampi" by itself is also the name of a dish of shrimp served in garlic butter and dry white wine. The word "scampi" is often construed as that style of preparation, not an ingredient, hence the seemingly redundant "shrimp scampi" or the seemingly impossible "chicken scampi".

Shrimp Scampi

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 pounds large shrimp (about 16 to 24)
1/3 cup clarified butter
4 tablespoons minced garlic
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh if possible
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper, to taste

PREPARATION:

Rinse shrimp and set aside. Heat butter in large skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic 1 or 2 minutes or until softened but not browned. Add shrimp, green onions, wine and lemon juice; cook until shrimp are pink and firm, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

Do not overcook. Add chopped parsley and salt and pepper before serving. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley sprigs if desired.

Makes 8 first-course servings.

CHICKEN SCAMPI

Serves 2

Ingredients:

***WHITE SAUCE: ***
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour

***SCAMPI SAUCE:***
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon dried cilantro, optional
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
black pepper to taste
3/4 cup white wine

1/4 cup white sauce

***REMAINING INGREDIENTS:***
1/2 pk. angel hair pasta, cooked and drained
bell peppers; thinly sliced
red onions; thinly sliced
10 cloves of garlic; roasted
2 chicken breasts; sliced
olive oil

Directions:

For white sauce: Heat 1 Tbsp. butter in sauce pan, add 2 Tbsp. flour and cook for 2 minutes on med. heat. heat stirring constantly. slowly add 3/4 cup hot milk (hot so it won't get lumpy). Set aside. (Make sure that the white sauce is hot when adding to the scampi sauce)

For scampi sauce: Heat butter over low heat. add the garlic, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper and black pepper. cook for about 2 minutes on low heat. add the wine and chicken broth. stir until combined. (I usually cook mine for about 30-40 minutes). add 1/4 cup white sauce and cook till slightly thickened. In a large skillet, saute chicken in a little olive till nearly done. add the peppers and onions, saute till chicken is done. add the sauce. saute until everything is warmed. add roasted garlic cloves. serve over pasta.

ROASTED GARLIC: Separate head of garlic into individual cloves still in 'paper'. toss in olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil or a small pint sized dish with a lid. bake in 350* oven for 45 minutes. when the garlic has cooled to the touch you should be able to squeeze it out of the 'paper' shell of the individual cloves.

1 tsp Hungarian paprika
16 cloves minced garlic

Method:

Melt butter over med low heat. Brown garlic slightly. Add oils (or crushed red pepper), Worcestershire sauce, wine and paprika. Whisk in mustard. Simmer five minutes. (This can be prepared ahead of time.) Bring lobster meat to room temperature. Just before adding meat to sauce, add the lemon juice. Heat lobster through and serve over yellow rice.

Notes: Lobster meat can be easily overcooked and become tough. Bringing it to room temperature will reduce the time required to heat it through.

Scampi Definition

Answer 3

Scampi is the plural of scampo, the Italian name for the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus), also known as "Dublin Bay prawns" (especially in the U.K. and Ireland) and "langoustine" (the French name).
It is also the name of an Italian-American dish called shrimp scampi that makes regular appearances on American restaurant menus and refers to broiled butterflied shrimp that have been brushed with garlic butter or oil (and sometimes a splash of white wine). American shrimp scampi is served over pasta or with bread to sop up the juices.

The Brits make their own typically health-unconscious version of scampi -- battered, deep-fried shelled tail meat that is eaten with tartar sauce.

Answer 5

Oh, my. I did the research and scampi is the plural of scampo, the Italian name for the Norway lobster. The name is used loosely both in Italy and elsewhere. In some countries labling laws are restrictive on what you can call scampi. In Britian it is Nephrops norvegicus. In the United Kingdom, "scampi" refers to a dish of shelled tail meat, coated in breadcrumbs or batter, deep fried and often served with chips, peas and Tartar sauce. In the Southern Hemisphere, other species of lobster are used instead. In the USA, "scampi" is often the menu name for shrimp in Italian-American cuisine. "Scampi" by itself is also the name of a dish of shrimp served in garlic butter and dry white wine. The word "scampi" is often construed as that style of preparation, not an ingredient, hence the seemingly redundant "shrimp scampi" or the seemingly impossible "chicken scampi".
