What is Scallop Scampi?
It’s no surprise that scampi is a classic dish on just about every seafood restaurant menu. The universally loved sauce is made with lemon, wine, butter, and minced garlic. A combination of flavors that hits all the right notes. Scampi sauce is so versatile that you can pair it with your favorite seafood, from scallops or shrimp to salmon and halibut. Olive oil is used to sear the scallops, while the butter adds its signature flavor and velvety texture to the sauce.
