Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). If using a pizza stone, place in oven to preheat.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet; cook and stir onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and continue to cook and stir until all liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and season with basil, lemon juice, oregano, and pepper. Allow mixture to cool slightly.
- Unroll pizza dough on preheated pizza stone or a large baking sheet and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread spinach mixture over dough, leaving a small border at the edge of the pizza crust. Top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
- Press tomato slices into seasoned bread crumbs until coated; arrange tomatoes over pizza. Spread remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese and feta cheese over tomatoes.
- Bake in preheated oven until pizza crust is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

BAKED GREEK SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES AND FETA
This traditional Greek recipe disregards the notion that seafood and cheese don't mix, and it works beautifully, resulting in a harmonious balance of flavors. Though it can be made year round with canned tomatoes, it is sensational with fresh sweet ripe ones, so best prepared in summer. Serve it as a main course with rice or potatoes, or in small portions as an appetizer, taverna-style.

Steps:
- Put 4 tablespoons olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Lower heat as necessary to keep mixture from browning. Remove from heat while preparing tomatoes.
- Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add whole tomatoes and cook for about 2 minutes, until skins loosen. Immediately plunge tomatoes in a bowl of cold water to cool, then drain. With a paring knife, core tomatoes and slip off skins. Cut tomatoes into thick wedges.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Return skillet to stove over medium-high heat. Add tomato wedges and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until mixture is juicy and tomatoes have softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a shallow earthenware baking dish.
- Put shrimp in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, season shrimp with salt and pepper and stir to coat. Arrange shrimp over tomato mixture in one layer. Crumble cheese over surface and sprinkle with oregano.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until tomatoes are bubbling and cheese has browned slightly. Remove from oven and let dish rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with mint and serve.

GREEK PIZZA WITH POURABLE CRUST
Yes, you really can make and bake homemade pizza crust in less than 30 minutes! The trick is whipping up a pourable crust. For this pizza, I was going for a Greek theme, so I went for toppings like roasted eggplant and bell peppers, feta, artichokes, mint and lemon.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
- Put the eggplant slices in a colander in the sink and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt; flip slices and sprinkle with another 1/8 teaspoon salt. (This step helps remove the bitterness.) Set aside.
- Put the bell peppers in a large bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon oil. Spread out on 1 large rimmed baking sheet.
- Rinse the salt off the eggplant and pat dry with a paper towel. Put the eggplant in a bowl and toss with the remaining teaspoon oil. Spread on the other lined baking sheet and bake the peppers and eggplant, flipping halfway through, 20 minutes. (Leave the oven on.)
- Meanwhile, spray a 15-by-10-inch (or 13-by-9-inch) rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and sprinkle with the cornmeal; set aside.
- Combine both flours, the oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Combine the milk and eggs in a small bowl; mix into the flour mixture until well combined. Pour into the prepared baking sheet and even out the dough. Top with the roasted eggplant and bell peppers.
- Bake the pizza for 10 minutes. Turn the oven to the broil setting, and top the pizza with the artichokes, red onion, cherry tomatoes and cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted and golden, about 5 minutes. (Watch carefully.)
- Top the pizza with the mint leaves and serve with lemon wedges if using.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Remove shells from shrimp, leaving last segment and tail intact; remove vein.
- Rinse and dry.
- In a pan saute onion in oil until transparent, (adding a few drops of water if necessary), add garlic and green onion and cook 2 minutes more.
- To the onions add the tomatoes, wine, half the parsley, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes until thickened.
- Pour half the sauce into a shallow casserole, and arrange the shrimp on top.
- Pour the rest of the sauce on, and sprinkle crumbled feta over the shrimp.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until prawns are pink and feta is lightly browned.
- Garnish with remaining parsley and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the pizza will taste. This is especially true for the shrimp and feta cheese.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this pizza, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a feta cheese that is firm and crumbly, with a salty and tangy flavor.
- Don't skimp on the olive oil: Olive oil is used to brush the pizza crust and to drizzle over the top of the pizza. It adds flavor and helps to keep the pizza crust crispy.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
This shrimp and feta Greek-style pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual weekend lunch. With its fresh ingredients and flavorful toppings, this pizza is sure to please everyone at the table.
