Steps:
- Set an inverted baking sheet on a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Invert another baking sheet and place a piece of parchment on top and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and reduce until the alcohol smell is no longer present and the sauce is golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Dust the parchment paper on top of the inverted baking sheet with flour. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out and stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle then place it on the paper. Scatter the shrimp evenly over the dough leaving a 1/2 inch border all around. Spoon the butter sauce over the shrimp, and use a pastry brush to spread the sauce to the edges. Finish by sprinkling the mozzarella cheese over the top, staying within the border.
- Place the sheet pan with the pizza on top of the preheated inverted baking sheet and bake until the dough is crisp and the shrimp are cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Sprinkle the pizza with the parsley and freshly grated Parmesan, slice into wedges and serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a small saute pan, mix sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger and pepper. Bring to a boil and partially reduce to thicken slightly. Once you've reached a thickness where the sauce just coats the back of the spoon, add the shrimp and saute for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450°. Place the naan bread rounds on an ungreased baking sheet. Top with carrots and bean sprouts. Spoon the shrimp mixture over the top and add the cheese divided evenly over both naan breads. Top with read onions. Bake 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with green onions, peanuts, cilantro and more red onions, if desired. Drizzle with peanut sauce and sriracha sauce (optional), and a squeeze of fresh lime. Serve immediately.

BIM'S THAI SHRIMP PIZZA
The inspiration for this pizza is Old Chicago's Thai Pie Pizza. My wife and I concured that this just HAD to be done with shrimp to give it justice. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed preparing and eating it!

Steps:
- First you want to prep all your veggies. You want this to be a chunky pizza so don't dice or slice too thinly and by the same token don't go overboard and cut the pieces so large they make eating a challenge. This is your pizza. Make it the way you like it!
- While prepping your veggies, if the raw shrimp are not already peeled then peel them and squeeze the lemon juice over them and set aside in a small bowl. Use lime juice if you prefer that.
- Next you want to have your basting sauce ready to microwave the butter in a small dish and once it is softened add the remaining ingredients for the sauce. I keep chopped garlic in the big jar at all times and so if you happened to as well then just pour ½ teaspoon of just that into the sauce. Set aside.
- Now you need dough. If you make your own? Fine! If not then let me clue you in to a little hint. I've never lived anywhere in the U.S. where there isn't at least one pizza restaurant that won't let you buy dough from them. Call around, starting with your favorite pizza parlors and ask them. I usually buy 2 LARGE pizza balls and have never paid more than $1 for each of them. Keep the dough wrapped in plastic wrap and chilled until you're ready to use it!
- PREHEAT OVEN to 400°F.
- Flour your working surface and if you are using a pizza peel then scatter some corn meal onto the peel. You can roll your dough out but I find just using my hands and fingers is best. Spread it out as large as you can without it getting too thin because it will shrink back some from elasticity. Once you have your dough ready to go:.
- Lightly rub the dough with the olive oil, keeping about a 1" border around the pizza untouched with oil.
- Next do the same with the Sweet Chili Sauce.
- Now the Shrimp, then Green Onions, then Artichoke Hearts, Sweet Red Peppers, Mushrooms and finishing off with scattering the Sesame Seeds.
- Follow it all up with ample Parmesan Cheese and you're ready for the basting.
- Use your fingers now and kind of roll up the edges of the pizza. This will keep any juices from running off the pizza and into your oven. Now take a brush with your basting sauce and dab it all around that outside border to the crust. This will add flavor and get a nice buttery- brown crust. Just before putting it in the oven I dusted with Paprika.
- Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. All ovens vary so please CHECK EARLY! I'd start at 8 minutes. When it is done to your satisfaction, let sit a few minutes, garnish with fresh Cilantro, slice, serve and enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the pizza will taste. This is especially true for the shrimp, which should be cooked just until opaque.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy. Aim for a thin layer of sauce, cheese, and toppings.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help the crust get crispy and the cheese melt evenly.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help the cheese set and prevent the toppings from falling off.
Conclusion:
Bim's Thai Shrimp Pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting pizza recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
