Start Lent’s Fish Friday with a classic Italian-American shrimp dish. In American, scampi is a shrimp dish with garlic butter and dry white wine served on a bed of linguine. This updated classic dish with roasted prawns stuffed with scampi is so beautiful, it does not need to share a plate with linguine. Serve the Stuffed Prawns with a salad of baby greens and a lemony vinaigrette.
Suggested Wine Pairing
A Sauvignon Blanc from the Northen Italian Trentino-Alto Adige wine country.
