🧑🏻‍🍳 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.

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!

📌 Recipe Notes & Tips

For a lighter, airier pizza crust you must try this Italian Pizza Dough recipe! No bread machine is required, it is made with a mixer and rises in a bowl.
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for one to two days.
To reheat pizza – place pizza in an air fryer set to 280 degrees and heat for 5 minutes. Preheat traditional oven to 250 – 300 degrees and place the pizza on a cookie sheet for approximately 5 minutes.
All ovens bake differently, cooking time are approximate.
