Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 ml) medium size shrimp, cooked or raw, cleaned and deveined
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup (90 g) grated alternative cheese
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) half and half (half milk/half cream) or heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) all-purpose white flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) sliced green onion
Instructions
- Prepare a basic pizza dough recipe or opt for a quality store-bought version.
- Set your oven to preheat at 425 degrees. Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the pizza inside.
- Drizzle approximately 1 tablespoon of oil onto your pizza pan. Stretch the dough to fit your pan. For a crunchy crust, maintain a thin layer.
- In a small bowl, mix together the grated alternative cheese and flour, then set it aside.
- Warm up vegetable oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Introduce the garlic and sauté until it becomes soft and aromatic, roughly 2 minutes.
- Pour in the half and half or heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Incorporate the cheese and flour mixture. Whisk with a wire whisk until the sauce thickens and the cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, adjusting to taste if necessary.
- Spread approximately half a cup of the sauce over the pizza dough for a 12-inch pizza. You might have some leftover sauce, which can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Layer the shrimp and green onions on top. Scatter an extra handful of grated alternative cheese over it.
- Bake for around 20 minutes or until the crust turns lightly golden and the sauce bubbles at the edges.
- Allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Any remaining pizza dough can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for 3 months. The leftover Alfredo sauce can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Consider using heavy cream instead of half and half in the Alfredo sauce for a richer flavor.
- Thoroughly clean and devein the shrimp before adding them to the pizza.
- Experiment with alternative cheeses for a unique twist on this recipe.
