Scampi refers to the preparation with garlic and butter, not the item used, usually shrimp or prawns. As for Easter, I am going to do a pork loin using a recipe I got from Blue Apron. It is roasted and served with a fig and blood orange sauce. It is easy and delicious. Glad you have your date with the surgeon.
