Ingredients

• 1 ball (approximately 12-inch size) Pizza dough
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Goat cheese
• 8 large (peeled and deveined) Shrimp
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon (divided) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes, cut them into quarters, and boil them in salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes).

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and mash them with unsalted butter, heavy cream, and 2 ounces of goat cheese. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 6

Spread the mashed potato-goat cheese mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges for the crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the mashed potatoes, then distribute the cooked shrimp evenly on top.

Step 8

Carefully slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and crumble the remaining 2 ounces of goat cheese over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 10

Slice and serve the pizza hot, enjoying the combination of creamy mashed potato, tangy goat cheese, and savory shrimp!
