Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a rack in the center of the oven.
Step 2
Brush each piece of pita bread with olive oil and set them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, chopped spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, and half the grated parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 5
Spread an even layer of the spinach-artichoke mixture over each pita bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 6
Top each pita with the seasoned shrimp. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizzas, followed by the remaining parmesan cheese.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the shrimp are cooked through (opaque and pink).
