Scampi is the plural of scampo, the Italian name for the Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus, also known by the names "Dublin Bay Prawn" and "Langoustine". The fleshy tail of the Norway lobster is good eating, closer in both taste and texture to lobster and crayfish than prawn or shrimp. In the United Kingdom, the term scampi is used to describe a dish of shelled tail meat, coated in breadcrumbs or batter, deep fried and served with chips. In the Southern Hemisphere, other species of lobster are used instead, such as the New Zealand lobster.
In the USA, the term scampi is used as the name for a dish of shrimp served in Garlic butter.
Scampo is also an uncommon term of endearment for surveyors' secretaries of small build.
