Pizza shrimp mozzarella

Ingredients:

1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon wedges for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, preheat it as well.

Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a lightly greased baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and are cooked through.

Arrange the shrimp evenly over the pizza, then place the pizza in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden.

Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for added color and flavor.

Slice and serve with optional lemon wedges for an extra burst of freshness.

Enjoy your shrimp pizza with a perfectly crispy crust, succulent shrimp, and a flavorful finish!
