What is seafood scampi?
Seafood scampi is a variation of shrimp scampi. Shrimp scampi is sauteed shrimp in a sauce that is often served with pasta or rice. Seafood scampi usually contains some shrimp along with a few other types of seafood. The word scampi refers to a kind of shrimp and therefore the titles of the dishes known in North America as shrimp scampi and seafood scampi are actually redundant. In the Mediterranean countries where the dish originated, it is often just known by titles such as shrimp in butter sauce, or seafood in sauce.
