Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made or homemade ball pizza dough
- 12 large, peeled and deveined shrimp
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 8 ounces, sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
- 8 halved cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup, fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup, grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
Lightly flour a large baking sheet or pizza stone. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and lay it on the prepared surface.
In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the rolled-out pizza dough, focusing on edges to create a golden crust.
Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge.
Scatter the cherry tomato halves on top of the mozzarella.
Evenly distribute the prepared shrimp across the pizza.
Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the top for a bit of heat.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve immediately.
