Ingredients

• 1 ball (about 12-14 oz) Pizza dough
• 8 oz Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink and opaque, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the prepared pizza dough. Spread the garlic-butter sauce evenly over the surface.

Step 6

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce, followed by shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Arrange the cooked shrimp evenly across the pizza, pressing them lightly into the cheese.

Step 8

Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 9

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley.

Step 11

Slice and serve immediately, enjoying the delicious combination of shrimp scampi flavors on a gourmet pizza!
