Level of Difficulty: Advanced.

Ingredients:
Note: all recipes on this site are scaled to a 14" round large pizza, for larger or smaller pizzas, please scale accordingly.

1 Traditional Dough
3/4 Cup Romano cream Sauce
1 Lbs. Fresh Gulf Shrimp, cleaned
1 Red Pepper, Roasted, Julienne
1 Clove Garlic, Minced
Flour
Olive Oil
Kosher Salt
Ground Black Pepper

Directions:

 To Prepare toppings:

Julienne the pepper.

Roast The Pepper.

Clean The Shrimp.

Toss the shrimp in a bowl with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

In a large saute pan, heat 1 oz olive oil and sear shrimp for 1 minute.
_{NOTE: You can choose to cut the shrimp into pieces if you'd like or leave them whole.
NOTE: You do not want to cook the shrimp all the way because they become very rubbery when overcooked and you will be cooking them on the pizza as well so a light sear will do just fine.}

 To Prepare Pizza Itself:

Preheat oven to 550 degrees
_{*if using a pizza stone, make sure the oven is preheating/heated for at least twenty minutes prior to putting the pizza into the oven.}

Sprinkle a thin layer of flour on a flat preparing surface, place dough ball onto flour and roll to get a light coating of flour.

Using a rolling pin or your hands, stretch dough out evenly to the size of the pan.

Prepare the pan using either cornmeal or olive oil, and place dough onto pan.

Spread cream sauce evenly across dough.

Evenly distribute peppers across pizza - DO NOT ADD SHRIMP YET.

Place pizza in oven and cook for 5 minutes, remove from oven, and add shrimp.

Continue cooking for 4 to 6 minutes, until crust is golden brown, and sauce has just begun to brown.

To enhance the flavor of the crust try a garlic oil glaze.
