What is Pasta with scampi?
Pasta with scampi is an Italian-style seafood pasta, made by combining pasta with scampi— a term that can mean langoustines or, in some markets and recipes, large prawns. The seafood is often cooked with garlic and olive oil or butter, then tossed with the pasta, sometimes with lemon or herbs.
It is served as a main course in Italy and in seafood restaurants elsewhere, with a simple salad or crusty bread alongside. Pasta supplies most of the carbohydrates, while the shellfish adds protein; the dish provides 9.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter version, use a modest amount of oil and add vegetables such as tomatoes or greens.
