- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the high protein pizza crust mix with 180 ml of water according to package instructions. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Roll it out into a 12-inch circle and place it on a greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the rolled-out dough.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the pizza dough.
Distribute the cooked shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices evenly over the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
In the last 5 minutes of baking, add the baby spinach leaves on top of the pizza.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes over the pizza.
Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
