Shrimp and Pesto Pizza image

In a departure from the standard pizza toppings, grilled dough is spread with basil pesto and scattered with shrimp, sliced tomatoes, and shaved Parmesan. No grill? No problem. Cook this dough in a cast-iron skillet over high heat, or on a preheated sheet pan or pizza stone in a 500-degree oven.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons basil pesto
3 ounces grilled shrimp
2 small tomatoes, sliced
1/4 small red onion, sliced

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat it up:Set up a grill with heat source, coals or gas, on one side over medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pizza turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much flour in the dough.

This pizza is so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love that I can use pre-made pesto sauce to save time.

I've made this pizza several times and it's always a hit. It's my go-to recipe when I'm having guests over.

This recipe was a disaster! The pizza dough was too sticky and the shrimp were overcooked. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

The pizza was good, but I found the crust to be a bit too thick. I think I'll try using a thinner crust next time.

This pizza was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still good. I think next time I'll use less salt in the pesto sauce.

I love shrimp and pesto, so I knew I would love this pizza. I was right! The flavors were perfect together and the pizza was cooked to perfection.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pizza turned out great! I used a store-bought pesto sauce, but I think it would be even better if you made your own.

I tried this recipe last night and it turned out great! The pesto sauce was especially flavorful. I used pre-made pesto, but I think it would be even better if you made your own.
