📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

2. Prepare the coconut shrimp: Set up a breading station with 3 shallow bowls. Fill the first bowl with the flour, the second with a whisked egg, and the third with a mixture of shredded coconut and breadcrumbs.

3. Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dip each shrimp in the flour, then the egg, and finally coat it in the coconut-breadcrumb mixture.

4. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the coconut shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

5. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

6. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

7. Spread the coconut sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

8. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the pineapple chunks and red onion slices.

9. Place the coconut shrimp evenly across the top of the pizza.

10. Carefully slide the pizza (with parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

11. Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro. Slice and serve immediately.
