Recipe: Shrimp Pesto Pizza

These are really handy – you can use them on the grill or in the oven! I am not much of a griller – so mine mainly goes in the oven – but it bakes evenly and cleans up great. It’s nice too because the other pizza stones get stained from use (they’re supposed to) – but this one has a gorgeous red glaze that always stays gorgeous!

I’d like to learn to make pizza dough but I typically just use the Pillsbury dough in the roll from the store. It’s great because you can get a pizza from fridge to oven in just minutes!

I decided to make a half & half pizza with pizza sauce and pesto sauce. I really didn’t think Larry would eat the pesto – (foreshadowing here). It sure makes for a pretty pizza!

On the Larry half – pepperoni and on the Heather half – I sauteed some large shrimp with a little olive oil and some Italian seasoning for just 1-2 minutes on each side – then sliced up fresh mozzarella and laid it in between the shrimp. I added shredded mozzarella to the pepperoni side.

And the finished pizza – isn’t it beautiful?! And then came the surprise of the night – Larry tried the shrimp side AND LIKED IT BETTER! I was seriously shocked. He doesn’t like green food, he doesn’t like garlic and he normally likes “normal” – but he really liked the shrimp side! So the dogs got to eat some pepperoni pizza. 🙂
