NATIONAL SHRIMP SCAMPI DAY – April 29
Sat Apr 29th

National Shrimp Scampi Day

On April 29th, we will celebrate National Shrimp Scampi Day in a healthy way. On this day, we celebrate the delectable dish of shrimp cooked with butter, garlic, lemon juice, and white wine.

Scampi is a culinary term for small lobsters identified as Nephrops (also known as langoustine or Dublin Bay Prawns) and is completely unrelated to this day.

The day is wholly dedicated to the preparation of shrimp with buttery, garlicky, lemony, and wine-sauced sauces. Prepare the dish using fresh or frozen shrimp. Add a side of noodle or rice, steamed vegetables, and crusty bread or rolls when serving the dish. Shrimp scampi pairs well with white wine, and white wine goes well with it. Since the dish is light, a rich dessert of cheesecake or crème brûlée rounds out the meal.
