I get an unexplainable kick out referring to shrimp as “shramps.” See, even just typing that I am now giggling. Naturally, this dinner has come to be referred to as “shrampizzas.” That is not the formal title I am giving the dish in this post, of course. It seems in an effort for them to make sense to other people. Now we all know the truth. But the great thing about homemade pizzas is that I can smear this nutty-rich pesto all the way across those crusts and have my ‘za just the way I like it.
SHRIMP PESTO PIZZAS
Serves 4 personal pizzas
1 batch perfect pizza dough
1/2 batch pesto
1/2 pound shrimp (I used salad shrimp)
2 cups mozzarella, shredded
2 cups arugula
Lemon wedges for spritzing
Salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Divide dough into four balls.
Roll out about 1/2 an inch thick. Spread pesto over dough.
Sprinkle with mozzarella. Top with shrimp.
Bake for 10 minutes. Top with arugula, lemon juice, and salt & pepper.
