Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 12 oz) Whole wheat pizza dough
- 8 oz Plant-based shrimp
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 oz Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 Red onion
- 2 cups Spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven during the preheat.
In a small pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Add the tomato sauce to the pan and stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, ensuring it fits your pizza stone or baking sheet.
Carefully remove the hot pizza stone from the oven and transfer the rolled-out dough onto it.
Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Tear fresh mozzarella cheese into pieces and distribute it over the sauce.
Distribute the plant-based shrimp evenly across the pizza.
Cut cherry tomatoes in half and thinly slice the red onion. Scatter these along with the spinach leaves evenly over the pizza.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the entire pizza.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Slice and serve immediately, enjoying the mix of fresh vegetables and savory plant-based shrimp.
