Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch round.
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy transfer to the oven.
In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese with minced garlic, lemon zest, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Brush the dough lightly with olive oil, then spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the base, leaving a 1-inch border.
Scatter chopped spinach over the ricotta, then top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Arrange shrimp and cherry tomato halves over the pizza, and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.
Carefully transfer the pizza (on the parchment) onto the preheated stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and enjoy!
