Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 clove garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• ¼ cup dry white wine (optional)
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp salt

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add shrimp, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until shrimp just turn pink. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside. If using, deglaze the pan with white wine and reduce slightly, then remove from heat.
3. Stretch or roll out pizza dough on the prepared pan. Brush the dough with olive oil and then spread the pan sauce (if used) or a little extra olive oil over the crust. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
4. Arrange the cooked shrimp evenly over the cheese. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
6. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest. Slice and serve immediately.
