Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).

In a mixing bowl, combine the high protein pizza crust mix with 180 ml of water according to package instructions. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix until a soft dough forms.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the rolled-out dough.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the pizza dough.

Step 8

Distribute the cooked shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices evenly over the cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

In the last 5 minutes of baking, add the baby spinach leaves on top of the pizza.
