Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
- 250 grams (peeled and deveined) Shrimp
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 10 (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 5 leaves (chopped) Fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting the pizza stone or baking sheet) Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are just pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
On a clean surface, roll out your pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If it’s sticking, lightly flour the surface.
Carefully remove the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle it with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Transfer your pizza dough onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the dough. Spread the sautéed garlic from the skillet over the pizza base.
Top the pizza with shredded mozzarella cheese, distributing it evenly over the surface.
Arrange the cooked shrimp and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the toppings for extra flavor.
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh basil.
Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve immediately.
