Shrimp Scampi Pizza

Shrip 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.
