MY MIXED DICED SEAFOOD (mussels, clams and shrimp) in a SCAMPI SAUCE for WHATEVER OCCASION YOU WANT TO SERVE IT! SMILE.

Once you make this type of scampi, you can use it in many ways. You can serve small portions with crackers on the side as an appetizer. Or as hors d’oeuvres over toasted French bread like crostini’s. You can also serve it over yellow rice or any pasta of your choice. Finally, you could make a nice batch of yellow mashed potatoes and top it with my scampi. Either way is simply delicious.
