Risotto Di Scampi

The Norway lobster, a very small species of lobster, with slender claws, and common in the seas of Norway as well as in the Mediterranean, the Gulf of Naples and the Bay of Biscay, is sold in London under the name of “Dublin” prawns. The flavour is extremely delicate, and the “scampi” of Italy, and of Venice in particular, where they are slightly different from our “Dublin” prawns, seem to surpass, both in texture and taste, those of other waters.
