One day, I was at home looking for something crunchy and chewy. Guess what I have found to make. I will give the hint it is seafood.
I guess you haven't got it. I will tell you it is Grilled Shrimp Scampi.
After I heard about the name of Grilled Shrimp Scampi Recipe. I was very confused about what is scampi? It is an Italian word that arrives from Langoustine and most of the people in Europe called it Norway lobsters and Dublin Bay prawns.
In what sense can we call Shrimp Scampi healthy? Shrimp Scampi helps to reduce belly fat. Because it has Omega 3 which is the main reason it will help to reduce belly fat and it has high cholesterol which is not good for health but you can have it accordingly.
I have cleared all my doubts and thought to make it from the recipe which I get from my friend who lives in Andaman and Nicobar. I was thinking of sharing the Grilled Shrimp Recipe with my lovely food lovers while I was making it for myself.
