Scampi is named after the Italian word for a type of small lobster, specifically the Nephrops norvegicus, also known as langoustine or Dublin Bay prawn. The dish originally referred to the preparation of these shellfish, typically involving a garlic butter sauce. In many English-speaking countries, however, "scampi" has come to refer to a dish made with battered or breaded shrimp, diverging from its original meaning. The culinary term reflects the influence of Italian cuisine on seafood dishes in various regions.
