Scampi _are_ a type of prawn taken from Italian waters, similar to  
the Dublin Bay prawn, and related to things like squillfish, sea- 
crayfish and langoustines. As that Dublin Bay name suggests, they  
live in sorta brackish water. Shrimp scampi are shrimp cooked in a  
manner traditionally used for scampi, back when scampi were more  
readily available than they are now.
