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 have made this recipe 5 or 6 times. Love, Love, Love. I use homemade crust but tonight I used store boughten fresh crust. I used an air bake pizza pan and cooked as the recipe says, pre cooking the crust. I add one large thinly sliced shallot with the garlic and add a few slices of sliced roma tomatoes with the shrimp. Could easily make the recipe as is without additions and would still be awesome
