This was a great quick put together lunch my daughter came up with over her winter break. We had shrimp on hand and wanted to come up with a way to use it that we both would enjoy. Of course since I eat almost anything that's not really hard. The trick for her is that she's lactose intolerant so our cheese selection is very limited. She found several recipes for shrimp pizza on Pinterest and created this one. There aren't really any exact measurements.
We sautéd peeled and deveined shrimp in butter and garlic for about 2-3 minutes. (Before sautéing them I took off the hard parts of the tail, and if the shrimp were extra large we cut them into smaller pieces.
Next we added about 1/4 -1/2 cup white wine and chicken stock and covered the pot for a quick braise.
As a pizza base we chose a large piece of herb and garlic flavored naan. Honestly the plain would have been just as good.
We layered shrimp, a bit of the braising liquid and then Parmesan cheese. We topped it all with a sprinkling of Aleppo pepper. Honestly this is my new favorite pepper. It's a little less spicy than crushed chilies yet it gives a bit of warmth to the food.
The pizza baked for about 12 minutes in a 400 degree oven.
Bon Appétit!
And as always with love from the Midwest,
Beth
