Shrimp Scampi Pizza
Ingredients
(Gout-Friendly)
-
Cooking spray
-
1 13.8-ounce package refrigerated pizza dough or a precooked pizza crust
-
1 tablespoon cornmeal
-
1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
-
1 pound cooked and peeled shrimp, sliced lengthwise
-
6 cloves roasted* garlic
-
2 cups shredded part-skim, low-moisture mozzarella cheese
-
1 tablespoon crushed dried basil
Directions
*If you don't have time to slow-roast garlic in a 325°F oven for an hour, microwave on high for about 30 seconds to soften cloves, then slice them.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray 10-1/2-by-15-1/2-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle cornmeal evenly over pan. Stretch refrigerated pizza dough across pan. Bake dough for 8 minutes. Skip this step if using a precooked pizza crust.
Mix garlic into ricotta and spread over pizza base. Add a layer of shrimp. Cover pizza with mozzarella and sprinkle with basil. Bake on the bottom rack of an oven heated to 400°F for about 12 minutes, until cheese is bubbling. Cut into 12 pieces and serve immediately.
