Instructions

Prepare the oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Pro tip: A preheated stone helps to achieve a crisp crust.

Sauté the shrimp

In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Pro tip: Ensure shrimp reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Roll out the dough

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness.

Pro tip: Keep the dough even for a uniform bake.

Assemble the pizza

Spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle red pepper flakes, then add the sautéed shrimp and mozzarella cheese.

Bake the pizza

Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Pro tip: Rotate the pizza halfway through for an even bake.

Finish and serve

Remove pizza from the oven and sprinkle with oregano and fresh basil. Slice and serve hot.

Pro tip: Let the pizza cool for a minute before slicing to avoid cheese from sliding off.
