What you will need

One pound of pizza dough – homemade is best but store-bought will also work.
Pesto sauce – I used homemade kale pesto but basil is also delicious.
Raw shrimp that has been peeled and deveined. 16-count is a good size for pizza, but any size will work.
Shredded mozzarella cheese – the solid kind in the cheese section, not the fresh kind sold in water.
Crumbled feta cheese gives this pizza a nice tangy flavor.
Jarred sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil that have been sliced into bite-size pieces.
A sprinkling of Parmesan cheese to add another layer of flavor.

How to make Shrimp Pesto Pizza

If you are using a baking stone {which you should} place it into a cold oven and preheat to 500 degrees for one hour.

In a large bowl, toss shrimp with 2 tablespoons of pesto. Set aside.

On a well floured surface, roll out pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Place dough circle on a parchment paper lined pizza peel or backside of a baking sheet.

Spread .25 cup of pesto sauce over the top of the pizza dough. Place the shrimp on top of the pesto in a single layer.

Add more or less cheese based on your tastes. The amounts are more like guidelines. 😉

Slide pizza onto the hot baking stone and bake for 10 to 14 minutes, depending on your oven. Remove from oven, slice and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.

Recipe Notes & Tips

If using jumbo shrimp it helps to cut them in half to make them easier to bite into.
I linked to my homemade pizza recipe above, but my new favorite is Italian Pizza Dough because of it’s light, chewy texture.
