     Title: Shrimp Scampi Pizza
Categories: shrimp, pizza
  Servings: 2

    1/2    batch pizza dough
     16    shrimp, peeled and deveined
      2 tb unsalted butter
      2    cloves garlic, grated
    1/2 ts red chili flakes
    1/4 c  white wine
      2 TB Italian flat leaf parsley,
           roughly chopped
      2 c  mozzarella cheese, shredded

Set your oven rack, closet to the top of the oven, and preheat your
oven, and pizza stone (if you have one) to 500 degrees. Let the oven
preheat until you prepare all of the remaining items.

To a small pot, add the butter, and let this melt. Skim any of the
foam off of the top and discard. If you want to strain the butter
into a fine mesh sieve, you can go that route, but for this recipe,
any of the solid fats that might remain are fine. Reduce the heat to
low, and add the garlic, chili flakes, wine, and shrimp.

Poach the shrimp just until the become opaque, about 5 minutes on
low heat.

How to make a shrimp scampi pizza

Stretch out your pizza dough for about a 14 inch pizza. Once
stretched, remove the stone from the oven and carefully place the
dough on top.

Add the cheese, the place the shrimp on top of the pizza. Drizzle
with a few tablespoons of the garlic butter. Place the stone back
into the oven, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the pizza
dough is golden, and everything is cooked through.

Remove the pizza from the oven and place onto a wired rack. Let the
pizza cool for about 5 minutes, then shower with the parsley. Slice
and serve.

I ended up making this pizza only because I had that leftover
butter, well, not only that, but my wife (and I for that matter)
really loves shrimp scampi. As I would normally eat this with some
pasta, or just the shrimp by itself, this pizza was incredible to
say the least.

I served my wife the first piece, and I heard her from afar talking
to herself with food umms and ahhs, that I knew this was going to
be great. The smell of the garlic buttered shrimp, with that white
wine was apparent right off of the bat, and believe it or not, the
cheese just held things together and did not interfere much with the
shrimp. I know I say this from time to time, but this pizza was
really, really good.
