Shrimp and Pesto Pizza image

In a departure from the standard pizza toppings, grilled dough is spread with basil pesto and scattered with shrimp, sliced tomatoes, and shaved Parmesan. No grill? No problem. Cook this dough in a cast-iron skillet over high heat, or on a preheated sheet pan or pizza stone in a 500-degree oven.

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but I loved this pizza. The pesto and cheese really mellowed out the flavor of the shrimp. I'll definitely be making this again.
