And if your shrimp are already peeled and deveined, this recipe comes together in just 25 minutes. I used a pre-made crust instead of dough just to make sure my shrimp wouldn’t be overcooked and dry. The scampi sauce helps to keep the shrimp moist and the secret is sautéeing the shrimp just until pink before placing them on the pizza.
Everyone will think you made a gourmet pizza in less than 30 minutes. 
Enjoy!

I think that shrimp scampi is one of the world’s greatest foods, and here you’ve combined it with another of the world’s most perfect foods. You are a genius, I am sure of it.
You made me LOL! It was delicious, thank you! 🙂
This was great! Added a diced Roma tomato and some spinach. Yum!

Thanks so much, Maddy… so happy to hear you enjoyed it! 🙂
Made this using a “ready-made” bag of pizza dough, everything else was exactly as the recipe called for (except I forgot the Parmesan at the very end). It was pretty easy to pull together, and the result was excellent! The only thing I will do differently next time is to let it cook for 2-4 more minutes at 450F – while the crust was not raw, it could have been crispier without scorching or burning. My oven tends to run a bit hot, so I was surprised to find this slightly under-done rather than over! But, obviously, that’s not a recipe issue – this was a nice pizza!
