Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large pieces Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Basil leaves, fresh
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Lightly oil the grill grates. Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand). Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and cooked through. Remove from the grill and set aside.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Lightly brush one side of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the dough, oiled side down, onto the grill. Close the grill lid and cook for about 2 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the dough begins to set. Flip the dough using tongs.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the grilled side of the dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and grilled shrimp.
Close the grill lid and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the crust is crispy.
Carefully remove the pizza from the grill and place it on a cutting board. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Shrimp Pizza!
