Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 pizzas

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  2. 1 pizza dough
  3. 1 cup Alfredo sauce
  4. 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  5. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 2 tbsp olive oil
  7. 1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). This high temperature is essential for achieving a crispy pizza crust.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
  4. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. If you prefer a thicker crust, leave it a bit thicker; for a thinner crust, roll it out more.
  5. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the dough is evenly spread out and has no holes.
  6. Spread 1/2 cup of Alfredo sauce evenly over the surface of the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  7. Evenly distribute the cooked garlic shrimp over the Alfredo sauce, ensuring each slice will have shrimp on it.
  8. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the shrimp and Alfredo sauce, covering it generously.
  9. Repeat the process for the second pizza with the remaining ingredients: dough, 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce, shrimp, and 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
  10. Place the pizzas in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the crust is crispy.
  11. Once baked, remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for added flavor and garnish.
  12. Slice the pizzas into wedges and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Garlic Shrimp Alfredo Pizza!

Tips

  1. For the most flavorful shrimp, ensure they are completely dry before cooking to achieve a perfect sear.
  2. Use fresh garlic for the most intense flavor—pre-minced garlic from a jar can't compare to freshly chopped cloves.
  3. Preheat your pizza stone or baking sheet to help create a crispy bottom crust.
  4. Don't overload the pizza with toppings; a balanced distribution ensures even cooking.
  5. Let the pizza rest for 1-2 minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set and make slicing easier.
  6. If you want extra richness, brush the crust edges with garlic-infused olive oil before baking.
  7. Fresh parsley adds a bright, fresh finish—chop it just before sprinkling to maintain its vibrant color and flavor.
