Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Shrimp or lobster (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream to the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp or lobster pieces, and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until just opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread the garlic cream sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza. Arrange the cooked shrimp or lobster on top of the cheese.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
