Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup minced onion
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon flour
5 tablespoons your favorite hot sauce (Frank's, Crystal, etc. DO NOT USE TABASCO)
1/2 lb cooked shrimp, small, peeled, deveined
1 large pizza dough (frozen, canned or homemade precooked or not)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (to taste)
2 stalks celery, diced, chilled (added after pizza is baked)
2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat leaf parsley (added after pizza is baked)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F or follow package directions for pizza crust. Crust may be prebaked, if desired.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until onion is translucent.
  • Whisk in flour, then hot sauce. Simmer for 1 minute; cool slight. Pour sauce over shrimp and toss to coat.
  • Spread shrimp and sauce over pizza crust. Toss cheeses together and sprinkle over top of pizza.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  • Top with celery and parsley; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your pizza the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will also work, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until it is pink and opaque. Do not overcook the shrimp, or it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality pizza dough: The quality of your pizza dough will make a big difference in the final product. If you have time, make your own dough. If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made dough from the store.
  • Don't overload the pizza: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy. Stick to a few simple toppings, such as shrimp, cheese, and sauce.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: A high temperature will help the pizza cook quickly and evenly. Bake the pizza at the highest temperature your oven will allow.

Conclusion:

Buffalo shrimp pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for parties or game day. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a pizza that is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a new pizza recipe, give buffalo shrimp pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
