Cooking Tips

• Make sure to preheat the barbecue to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
• Serve the grilled scampi with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Grilled scampi is best served immediately while still hot and fresh.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the scampi gently in a skillet over low heat to maintain their tenderness.
