It is exactly as the title suggests.
Shrimp scampi pizza is ready in 30 minutes if the pizza dough is already made
or store bought. The sauce for this recipe is made of butter and lemon juice.
Some recipes will have a slash of white wine, but it will not change the taste
for this sauce. Another note is to use shrimp that is already peeled and
deveined. My herbs garden has parsley and oregano that I will add to this
recipe. However, Italian seasonings can be substituted. Shrimp is very fast to
cook, and the sauce will keep the shrimp moist, but do not overcook the shrimp while
sautéing. Let’s now make the shrimp scampi pizza!
Ingredients:
2 personal sized pizza dough (about 8
inches in diameter)
1 lb. Medium-sized shrimp, peeled and
deveined
Salt and pepper 1/2 tsp
Scampi sauce ingredients:
Juice of one lemon (about 1 tbs)
2 tbs butter
1 tbs olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp each oregano and parsley
1 tsp chilli flakes
2 cups mixed varieties of cheese of your
choice
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450°.
Melt the butter and olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and shrimp, and cook until the
shrimp is just cooked through (about a minute per side) before adding the lemon
juice and removing from the heat.
Spread the dough out on a baking sheet.
Spread
the shrimp and the lemon butter-garlic sauce over and sprinkle on the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese
has melted and the crust is crispy and golden brown (about 10 minutes).
Sprinkle with more parsley and enjoy.
Tip:
Many ready-made pizza doughs are now available
on the market. Also, this recipe can be used over flat bread or tortilla for
quicker ideas for dinner.
