Ingredients

• 1 ball (12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 ounces Shrimp or lobster (peeled and deveined)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the heavy cream to the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp or lobster pieces, and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until just opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza. Arrange the cooked shrimp or lobster on top of the cheese.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
