Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Cook the Shrimp Properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook the shrimp until it is just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Make the Chickpea Puree Ahead of Time: The chickpea puree can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will save you time on the day you're making the flatbread.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro and basil add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you can, use fresh herbs instead of dried.
  • Serve the Flatbread Warm: The flatbread is best served warm, right out of the oven. You can reheat it in the oven or toaster oven if necessary.

This shrimp flatbread with chickpea puree and cilantro pesto is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
