Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until you have a rice-like consistency.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 4-5 minutes. Let it cool.
Once cooled, place the cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, egg, Parmesan cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well to form a dough.
Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press it into a 1/4 inch thick circle.
Brush the surface with olive oil and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and firm.
Remove the crust from the oven, spread pizza sauce evenly over the base, and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Arrange the prosciutto slices over the cheese and return to the oven for another 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove from oven and top with fresh arugula, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.
Slice and serve immediately for a delicious low carb pizza experience.
