Servings: 4 People
Ingredients
- 1 ball pizza dough store-bought or homemade
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes adjust to taste
- 1/2 lb shrimp peeled and deveined, cooked until pink
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 1 lemon cut into wedges (for serving)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone inside.
- In a skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant (about 1–2 minutes). Set aside to cool slightly.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Transfer the dough to a floured pizza peel.
- Brush the dough generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the base.
- Arrange cooked shrimp evenly on top of the cheese.
- Add remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Slide the pizza onto the hot stone and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over each slice.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, double the red pepper flakes or add thinly sliced fresh chili.
- You can swap shrimp with scallops or crab for a seafood twist.
- If you don’t have a pizza stone, use a heavy baking sheet flipped upside down.
