Shrimp Scampi Pizza

Shrimp Scampi Pizza

I finally made the Shrimp Scampi Pizza! Logan and I loved it! Larry and M.C. liked it, but they want me to cut back a bit on the garlic and parsley next time. It was really easy to make! If you like shrimp scampi, you should definitely give it a try!

Shrimp Scampi Pizza

Recipe inspired by one I found at:
http://closetcooking.blogspot.com/2008/06/shrimp-scampi-pizza.html

1 Pillsbury Refrigerated Pizza Dough
1 pound frozen, fully-cooked shrimp, thawed and tails removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 pinch red chili pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 lemon (juice and zest)
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups mozzarella (grated)


Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Pat pizza dough into baking pan, prick dough all over with a fork and bake until just beginning to brown.

While crust is baking, prepare topping:

1. Heat the oil and melt the butter in a pan.
2. Add the red chili pepper flakes, parsley flakes and garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the shrimp and sauté until heated through. (With pre-cooked shrimp this will just be a minute or so. Don’t over cook!)
4. Remove the shrimp from the pan.
5. Add the broth and lemon juice; bring to a boil.
6. Simmer the liquid until reduced by about half, about 3-5 minutes.
7. Add the butter, wait for it to melt and turn off the heat.
8. Pour the mixture onto the pizza crust, add the shrimp and top with the mozzarella cheese.
9. Bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

    Now this sounds like my kind of pizza — hold the pepperoni, bring on the shrimp!

    BTW, I see the chicken poll on your sidebar. I'm going to mark it fried, that is my favorite, but I only have it that way once or twice a year. For the last twenty years or so, my health insists I eat if roasted or grilled. Oh, I long for the chicken of my youth! lol.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
