Scampi alla busera are part of the culinary history of Venice, made of simple recipes but always rich in flavor, handed down through the centuries.
The term busara or buzara does not have very clear origins.
For some, the name derives from the big iron pot which was used on boats by fishermen to cook, which was called, precisely, busara.For others it derives from the word busiara, which means liar, referring to the deception of Venetian fishermen.
The fisherman would, in fact, cook prawn scraps and scraps from other fish, add tomato and wine, and pass it off as a fancy, top-quality dish.
Very few ingredients for a great dish: excellent also as a condiment for pasta, especially spaghetti: perfect!
