Shrimp Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon green tea rubs (a mixture of green tea leaves, sugar, and spices)
• 1 cup shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails removed)
• 1 pre-made pizza dough (or homemade)
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Green Tea Rubs:

• Combine the green tea leaves, sugar, and spices in a small bowl to create the green tea rubs. This mixture will be used to season the shrimp.

Prepare the Shrimp:

• In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the green tea rubs, ensuring they are well coated.

Prepare the Pizza Dough:

• Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.Assemble the Pizza:
• Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the Parmesan cheese.

Add the Toppings:

• Arrange the seasoned shrimp on top of the cheese, followed by the sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of additional mozzarella cheese.

Bake the Pizza:

• Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Check for Doneness:

• After the pizza has baked, check to make sure the shrimp is cooked through and the crust is crispy. If necessary, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve desired crispiness.

Finish and Serve:

• Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Slice the pizza and serve immediately, enjoying the unique flavor from the green tea rubs on the shrimp and the classic pizza toppings.
