One of our most famous Hawaiian dishes has been called "Shrimp
Scampi" but that's kind of a pretentious, too French, foo foo,
word. I call it "garlic shrimp." I used to make it all the time
but these days, I'm sick of the stuff.

It's not French. It's Italian. But what does it matter? If English
was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for us!
Hawaiian garlic shrimp AKA, shrimp truck shrimp, is fried Chinese
style so it hardly matters where the word comes from. I would never
say that word. It gives me the creeps. Mostly, "scampi" is a word
that people on the mainland like to use.

It's not Asian enough for you. White people... brrr... (apart from
your wife and 50% of your children of course).
