Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast; 1 cup warm water; 1 tsp sugar; 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 tsp salt; 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1/4 cup butter; 1/4 cup white wine; 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped; 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes; Salt and pepper to taste; 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese; 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese; Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Pour in the white wine and simmer for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the chopped parsley. Remove from heat.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into your desired shape and thickness. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the cooked shrimp scampi evenly over the dough, leaving a border for the crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Once done, remove the Scampi Pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the pizza before slicing it.
