Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 10 large Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cups Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for rolling dough)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Place the dough on a parchment paper sheet for easy transfer later.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes.
Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
To the skillet, add the fresh lemon juice and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 1 minute to slightly reduce the sauce, then remove from heat.
Brush the prepared pizza dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the dough evenly with the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
Arrange the cooked shrimp evenly over the cheese. Drizzle the lemon-garlic sauce from the skillet over the shrimp and pizza.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle it with fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
