SHRIMP SCAMPI PIZZA
from Rachael Ray
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 cloves garlic, 8 smashed and peeled and 4 finely chopped
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, trimmed
One 15-ounce container ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling
2 pounds shrimp—peeled, deveined and chopped
Salt and pepper
1 baguette, split lengthwise and quartered crosswise
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook the smashed garlic until golden, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to a food processor; reserve the olive oil.
Add the parsley to the garlic in the food processor and pulse to finely chop; set aside 1/4 cup. Add the ricotta and parmesan to the food processor; pulse to combine.
Preheat the oven to 500°. In the same skillet, heat the reserved olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until opaque, about 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved 1/4 cup parsley-garlic mixture.
Spread the cheese mixture on the cut side of each piece of bread and arrange on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Spoon the shrimp mixture on top and sprinkle with more parmesan. Bake until the cheese is melted, 7 to 10 minutes.

Storms rolling by last night.. creepy but beautiful, eh?
These look great. I too have been making a lot of tomato-less pizzas lately. They are lighter somehow and I like them.
ReplyDeleteThis looks REALLY good! I love shrimp on my pizza but have never made a homemade version. Oh my gosh, I love the pics - I assume that's the view from your house? Lucky you!!!

What a fabulous recipe. I love shrimp in everything save desserts and am quite content to give up tomato based pizzas. Yours looks wonderful. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteI would totally make this if I wasn't deathly allergic to shrimp. It looks so tasty!!
ReplyDeleteI love pizza with seafood, the marinara. You could add octopus.
