Very Garlic Shrimp Pizza
"This is a gourmet style pizza easy to throw together with a prepared crust or take a little time and make your crust. Sure to love it if you love Shrimp! Prep time is for prepared crust...if you make your own it will take more time but it's worth it!"
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
2 9inch pizzas
ingredients
- 2 pizza dough, 9 inch frozen or home made
- 30 large shrimp, peeled and de-veined with tails removed
- 10 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1⁄8 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Fontina cheese or 1 cup mild swiss cheese, such as finlandia swiss cheese
- 2 ounces goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1⁄4 1/4 cup yellow peppers or 1/4 cup red pepper, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
directions
- In a 10" to 12" frypan, heat the cup of olive oil to medium low and add the shrimp and garlic.
- If the shrimp is raw, sauté for 3 minutes on each side.
- If the shrimp is already cooked, sauté for two minutes on each side (all you are doing is flavoring the shrimp with the oil and garlic).
- Remove from the pan and let cool.
- Place your baking stones in the oven and heat to 550ºF.
- On a floured surface, press the dough into a 9" circle (if you are doing home made).
- Place pizza dough on a surface that can slide on the stone or use a pizza peel covered with parchment paper.
- With a pastry brush, coat the dough with the garlic olive oil.
- For each pizza, add half the mozzarella, half the Fontina, and 1/2 the diced pepper.
- Now place 15 shrimp on each pizza and 1/2 the goat cheese in chunks.
- Add half the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with 1/2 the Parmesan cheese.
- Dribble some of the remaining garlic oil over the pizza.
- When adding the topping, leave a 1" border on the edges so the dough can rise all around the edges.
- It is easy to stretch the dough out on the edges after the toppings are on.
- Pull out an oven rack and using a spatula, slide a pizza onto a stone.
- Rotate the pizza (s) 180º after about 3 minutes.
- Bake for 2 more minutes.
- At 550º, total baking time is 5 or 6 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove, slice, and serve.

Awesome pizza! Garlic shrimp is my favourite, and this recipe is perfect. I used goat's gouda cheese instead of fontina and a sheep fresh cheese similar to mozzarella because I can't have cow's milk cheese. Made this with a gluten free pizza crust. Will make it again for sure! Thanks for posting :)<br/>Made for Bargain Basement.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
