Please note that the word Scampi in Italian means large prawns (shrimp) and not the method of cooking as in the USA. Also, they are usually cut the shrimp down the center in the shell and grill it. The best way to cook shrimp is in the shell so you don't loose the flavor. However, you will not loose any flavor in this dish because the base for the sauce is the juice from the shrimp. Scallops can also be for this same recipe but make sure large sea scallops un-soaked ( no water added )
