National Shrimp Scampi Day 2023: The term “shrimp scampi” can indicate a variety of things depending on where you are in the world. In Italian-American cuisine, the term “shrimp scampi” is used as the “menu name” in the United States. Scampi is traditionally prepared with garlic butter, dry white wine and parmesan cheese. It can be eaten either with bread, or over pasta or rice; however, the prawns can also be prepared on their own. The majority of “shrimp scampi” dishes are served over spaghetti. On April 29, which is designated as National Shrimp Scampi Day, you are encouraged to prepare this dish in any way that strikes your fancy.
(In point of fact, it seems that Americans will eat just about anything, so long as it is served with bread, or over pasta or rice.)

WHY WE LOVE NATIONAL SHRIMP SCAMPI DAY
The flavour of it
What more could you ask for in a straightforward meal to prepare throughout the week than pasta, prawns, olive oil, garlic, butter and a sprinkling of herbs? Oh, I don’t know—perhaps a whole glass of white wine.
Versatility
It is an absolute godsend for entertaining visitors on the weekends, in addition to being ideal for the hectic weeknights. Alternately, you may prepare it on your own and serve a piece of toasted garlic bread alongside it to mop up the extra delicious white wine butter sauce.
Seafood prepared in the Italian style
This meal is a good option for those who enjoy both prawns and Italian cuisine. You don’t have to eat prawns if you don’t like them; you may substitute scallops or another seafood instead!
