In the restaurants of Venice, the scampi are sometimes served whole with the shells & heads intact. It certainly looks impressive, but can be difficult to eat, so you decide whether you want to peel them. I recommend seeking out small-ish scampi & keeping the heads on for flavour but peel the bodies for easier eating. Some small scampi are quite easy to peel once they’ve been cooked, so they would be fine to serve with the shells intact.
