Scallops Scampi

If you’re a lover of Shrimp Scampi, a version with scallops is similarly sumptuous. Scampi actually means prawn in Italian. Scampi is “prawn” with a buttery, garlic sauce with herbs and wine. All you’re doing in this recipe is changing the shrimp out for scallops.

Some use this dish as an appetizer, while others make it stretch into a meal over pasta, rice, or polenta. You can tinker with the spices if you wish. This recipe is designed to be similar to that which you might get at any restaurant. Just have mints available!
