Comments:
Several varieties of lobsters are known as scampi. The “true” scampi are Norway lobsters (Nephrops norvegicus), which are found in the Adriatic, parts of the western Mediterranean, and the Irish Sea, hence its name in Ireland and the United Kingdom, the Dublin Bay Prawn. The Italian word for “Dublin Bay Prawn” is scampo, plural scampi.
