Spot Prawn Scampi
Shrimp Scampi is an Italian classic with an American twist. Originally, this dish was made with scampi, which are tiny crustaceans called langoustines. However, the American version swaps the scampi for shrimp, but keeps both in the name of the dish. Our Catch Sitka version is made with our Wild Alaskan Spot Prawns, the lobster of Alaska, making it a dish to remember.
