Scampi is a crustacean-based seafood dish, especially featuring langoustine (the French name of a certain lobster which gives the dish its name), as well as shrimp or prawns, varying regionally in preparation. The term "scampi" is also used as a style of preparation (of, characteristically, shellfish such as langoustines or shrimp sauteed in olive oil, garlic, and white wine, and garnished with Parmesan cheese and lemon juice).
