Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12 inches in diameter) Pizza dough
- 1 cup Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to ensure it gets hot.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 12-inch circle. Set aside.
Mince 4 garlic cloves and thinly slice the remaining 2. Set both aside for later use.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Toss the shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sliced garlic, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes in a small bowl.
Add the shrimp mixture to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they're pink and just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Brush the surface of the dough generously with the garlic butter mixture from the skillet, ensuring an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Distribute the cooked shrimp on top of the cheese, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp and cheese layer.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle it with the freshly chopped parsley.
Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
