This recipe is super easy and really allows the delicate flavor of the skampi to sing. The best part is this recipe can be used not only for skampi but also prawns, shrimp, mussels, and any shellfish really. So get down to your local fishmonger and give this Croatian coastal recipe a go. My family loves it.
