Mark your calendars, seafood lovers—National Shrimp Scampi Day is just around the corner, and at Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen, we’re serving up a mouthwatering celebration that’s not to be missed. Falling on Tuesday, April 29th, this holiday is the perfect excuse to indulge in one of our most beloved Italian-American classics: Shrimp Scampi.
A Fresh Take on a Timeless Favorite
At Russo’s, our Shrimp Scampi is far from ordinary. We start with jumbo Gulf shrimp, prized for their sweet flavor and satisfying texture. These shrimp are sautéed to tender perfection in a shimmering sauce that’s light, zesty, and loaded with character.
What sets our scampi apart? It’s all about balance. We combine crisp Pinot Grigio with fresh lemon juice, garlic, and just the right amount of Sicilian extra-virgin olive oil. This flavorful medley creates a rich yet vibrant sauce that enhances, rather than overpowers, the natural sweetness of the shrimp.
And let’s not forget the capers—these briny little gems add a welcome burst of tang, keeping every bite bright and exciting.
Served with Soul-Satisfying Pasta
Our Shrimp Scampi wouldn’t be complete without a generous serving of fettuccine pasta, nestled beneath the shrimp and soaking up every drop of that heavenly sauce. With its silky texture and deep Italian roots, this pasta delivers the perfect foundation for the dish, making it a truly unforgettable experience from the first forkful to the last.
