Grilled Shrimp Pizza

A few months ago I made homemade crawfish pizza and it was absolutely delicious.  This recipe looks absolutely delicious.  Another way that you could prepare this is to follow the recipe for the crawfish pizza but use shrimp instead.  I am warning all of you, it might be so delicious you could possibly eat the entire pizza.  Just sayin....


Ingredients

3/4 pound medium shrimp
1 red onion, sliced into rounds
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper
1 pound prepared pizza dough at room temp.
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

Preheat a grill to medium high. Toss the shrimp and onion in a bowl with the olive oil and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.


Stretch the pizza dough into a roughly 8-by-10-inch rectangle. Lightly brush the grill with olive oil. Lay the dough on the grill and cook until the top begins to bubble and the bottom is marked, about 3 minutes. Remove with tongs and put cooked-side up on a cutting board. Brush with olive oil.


Grill the shrimp and onion, turning, until the onion softens and the shrimp are lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Top the crust with the shrimp and onion, then slide the pizza back onto the grill. Top with the tomatoes and feta, cover and grill until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is soft, about 5 more minutes.

Carefully transfer the pizza to the cutting board. Sprinkle with the parsley and cut into pieces.

If this recipe sounds too intimidating then follow the directions for the crawfish pizza, it is much easier and great for a quick weeknight dinner.  I really hope you all enjoy.
