Hawaiian Shrimp Scampi - garlic butter sauteed shrimp with lemon juice and white wine. This Hawaiian shrimp scampi recipe is so good.
One of my favorite shrimp scampi recipes is Hawaiian shrimp scampi, made famous by the Giovanni’s shrimp truck at Kahuku, in the north shore of Oahu island.
If you have been to Hawaii, it’s very likely that you have tried the legendary shrimp. It’s top of the list as a must-eat when you are in Oahu.
My Hawaiian shrimp scampi recipe is loosely adapted from this recipe.
Many of my friends have tried and tested my recipe and all gave me their thumbs up. .They taste very close to Giovanni’s version. It’s utterly delicious and best served with some cold beer. Enjoy!

I would like to add wine to my scampi, what white wine did you use?
I just use white wine, no particular brand.
Delicious! I had these over the weekend, but added some cream of coconut and Old Bay seasoning added. To die for.
Yum, sounds very yummy. I love these Hawaiian Shrimp Scampi.
