Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole wheat pita bread
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 1 cup spinach leaves, finely chopped
- 1 cup artichoke hearts (canned or jarred), chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 250 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a rack in the center of the oven.
Brush each piece of pita bread with olive oil and set them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, chopped spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, and half the grated parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Spread an even layer of the spinach-artichoke mixture over each pita bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top each pita with the seasoned shrimp. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizzas, followed by the remaining parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the shrimp are cooked through (opaque and pink).
Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Slice each pita pizza into quarters and serve hot. Enjoy your Surfin Spinach and Artichoke Pita Pizza!
