1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method

Preparation

Roll out the pizza dough onto your baking surface, shaping it evenly like a good Southern pie crust.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, and Italian seasoning.

Assembling the Pizza

Brush the garlic oil blend generously over the dough.
Layer on the mozzarella cheese, tender shrimp, and sprinkle the Parmesan for a golden delight.

Baking

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the pizza for about 12 to 15 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.

Serving

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top, slice while hot, and enjoy!

Notes

Pair with a fresh garden salad or garlic bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
