Next to bacon cheeseburgers, pizza is my favorite food group! I could eat pizza every single day of the year and never get tired of it. There are so many different toppings and combinations that keep pizza from getting dull or boring. This Shrimp Scampi Pizza is the perfect example of unexpected toppings taking the ordinary to extraordinary.....

This is yet another one of those recipes that has been popping in and out of my head for more than a year. Since today is National Pizza Day, I just had to finally make this creation happen!!

How do you make Shrimp Scampi Pizza?

About 2:00 this afternoon, I pulled out my trusty bread machine and made my favorite Homemade Pizza Dough. I continued to peruse Pinterest while the bread machine did it's thing. Thirty minutes before the dough was ready, I put my baking stone into the cold oven and set the temperature to 500 degrees!! This little step makes a huge difference in how the crust cooks.

While the dough is resting, heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook for one minute.....

Add the white wine and lemon juice and cook for an additional 2 minutes.....

Add the shrimp and cook only until pink.....

Remove from the pan and set aside. Roll out dough on a well floured surface.....

and place on a cornmeal covered pizza peel {or the backside of a flat baking sheet} and brush with garlic-lemon sauce.....

Be generous, but don't turn the top of the pizza into a lake. 😉  Add the shrimp, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.....

Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and slide onto the hot baking stone.....

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.....

Garnish with Italian parsley and serve with red hot pepper flakes {if desired}

You have probably noticed that I like my pizza crust thin and crispy. One of these days I will get around to posting a thick crust pizza.

The pizza was done, photographed and eaten by 4:20 pm before the sunlight was completely gone, lol! I will be using the other half of the pizza dough to remake my Breakfast Pizza tomorrow morning....Yum!

Notes:

  • The pizza stone that I used for this pizza was purchased from Pamered Chef. I also have several others, including this 16" round one, and a rectangle stone that I use on the grill from Amazon {affiliate links}
  • A Pizza Peel is a handy tool to have around to get your pizza on and off of a hot pizza stone!

Some additional Pizza recipes that you should try:

Prosciutto-Arugula Pizza

Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza

Grilled Pizza Margherita

Eggs Benedict Pizza

Steakhouse Pizza

What's the most unusual pizza that you have even made or eaten?

Enjoy!!

    This shrimp pizza looks great and fun to make, and fast! I also like the idea of baking the pizza on a stone in the oven. Definitely have to try this one out. Really enjoy stopping by your blog. Although I don't eat meat, you still have a wide range of other suggestions 🙂 i'll pin some of them.

    That's how I make my pizza too. Except I don't have a pizza peel, so I take the pizza pan out of the oven (it is a cast iron one and has handles). I am dying to make this version.

    Don't you just love bread machine for all things bread?

    Have you thought about pulsing the shrimp in a food processor for 10-20 seconds or dicing up the shrimp before you cook them. That might make a move evenly distributed portion of shrimp. Just a thought.
