Scampi for Appetizer are a delicious seafood dish, ideal for starting a meal with company. These very fresh scampi are enhanced by a flavorful aromatic bouquet composed of parsley, thyme and bay leaves. A light sauce made with extra-virgin olive oil and chopped parsley completes the dish, adding a touch of freshness. This appetizer is perfect for lovers of seafood flavors and can be accompanied by crusty bread.
Wash the scampi and boil them in water together with the salt, the aromatic bouquet and the peppercorns.
When they are cooked, shell them and place the tails in a fairly wide bowl, which you will keep warm in a bain-marie.
Meanwhile prepare the sauce in a small bowl by whisking with a fork the oil, the finely chopped parsley and a pinch of salt.
Arrange the scampi on a warmed serving plate, pour the sauce over them and serve.
If the scampi are fresh, it is best to serve them fairly hot by preparing them quickly.
They can also be served cold but they will be less flavorful.
