Ingredients

• 1 pre-made crust or homemade ball (about 12-inch size) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 12 medium-sized pieces Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 cups (lightly packed) Fresh spinach leaves
• 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons (optional) Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon (for rolling dough, if needed) All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and, if using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.

Step 2

If using pre-made pizza dough, sprinkle a clean surface with a little flour and roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a pizza pan or a parchment-lined flat surface for easy transfer.

Step 3

In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the raw shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until just pink. They will finish cooking in the oven, so do not overcook. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 5

Brush the pizza dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, spreading evenly across the surface. Then, spread the sautéed garlic evenly over the oil.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza dough as the base layer.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the fresh spinach leaves over the mozzarella, followed by the partially cooked shrimp. Sprinkle with the remaining 0.5 cups of mozzarella and the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the pizza (with parchment paper, if using) to the hot pizza stone or bake directly on the pizza pan in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Simply Delicious Shrimp and Spinach Pizza!
