Grilled Scampi is a delicious seafood dish known for its bold flavors and simple preparation. Large, tender shrimp are marinated in a blend of garlic, lemon, olive oil, and fresh herbs, then grilled to perfection until lightly charred and juicy. The high heat of the grill enhances the natural sweetness of the shrimp while infusing them with a smoky, savory aroma.
