"The English word scampi is the plural of Italian scampo
This is true.
scampi is a style of preparation (butter, garlic, white wine...)
Yep.
Unfortunately, finding good fresh shrimp here is difficult so I just buy the frozen ones. Cook them in butter and garlic, then add a sauce made from the remaining butter and garlic in the pan. Add about 400 ml of wine, preferably sherry, reduce the mixture and pour it over the shrimp. I'm making myself hungry.
I think I'll pass on English cuisine week.
