Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cauliflower head
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 8 ounces Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 10 leaves Basil leaves, fresh
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a pizza pan with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice grains.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5-6 minutes until soft. Let it cool, then place it in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a dough-like mixture.
Press the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared pizza pan, shaping it into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it begins to turn golden brown.
While the crust bakes, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink. Remove from heat.
Remove the pizza crust from the oven. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese, then evenly distribute the shrimp, cherry tomatoes, spinach, and red onion over the crust.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before slicing and serving.
