SIZZLING SCAMPI PIZZA

Category: Pizza

1 (12 inch) pizza crust
1 cup diced Italian plum tomatoes
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup prepared pesto
1/4 cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
12 oz uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Parmesan or Asiago Cheese, shredded
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Preheat oven to 450. In medium bowl combine tomatoes, onions and pesto. Mix well and set aside. Line a vented pizza pan or large baking sheet with parchment baking paper that has been trimmed so edges will not hang over the pan or touch the oven wall. Place pizza crust on the parchment-lined pan. Set aside.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and pepper flakes, saute 1 minute. Use 1 tbsp of the seasoned butter mixture to brush over pizza crust and rim. Add shrimp to remaining butter in skillet, saute 1 minute. Add wine and cook until shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and drain. Arrange tomato and onion mixture over the crust. Arrange shrimp over the crust. Sprinkle with cheeses. Reduce oven temperature to 425. Keeping pizza on the pan bake for 12 minutes. To crisp the crust remove from the parchment-lined pan and place crust directly on the oven rack for 3 additional minutes. Sprinkle with parsley, slice and serve.
