Usually, when we make shrimp scampi we have it with pasta. And it is always one of my favorite dishes for a special occasion. Shrimp Scampi just seems fancy! So, when we had some flatbread sent to us we decided, "Why not take one of our favorite "fancy dishes" and make a shrimp scampi flatbread pizza"??. This is now one of my favorite pizzas. It's like having shrimp scampi and garlic bread all in one bite. Also, how can you go wrong with flatbread and shrimp in a garlic butter sauce? This pizza has all the creamy garlic yummy flavors that you want with shrimp scampi and the convenience and fun of a pizza.

Shrimp Scampi Flatbread Pizza

This was the first time we tried flatbread as a pizza and, I have to say, if you haven't tried flatbread yet I highly recommend it!! There are so many great ways to use flatbreads. It works great as a substitute for bread in a sandwich, or just with oil and garlic. My all-time favorite....flatbread as a pizza! The bread has a crunchy crust bottom and a great "bready" texture on the top. Not to mention, making the Shrimp Scampi pizza was maybe one of the easiest pizzas we ever made!

When making this pizza we didn't use as much Wine or Butter in the recipe. Which is good you can save that wine for sipping while making the pizza!!!

How to make Shrimp Scampi

This is going to blow your mind how easy it is to make. We had shrimp that was already peeled. So, we just had to pull the tails off and toss in a fun marinade. After the Shrimp is ready you just cook them in butter, wine, and garlic. Put some olive oil on the flatbread toss on the cheese and shrimp and place in the oven!. When the cheese is melted and everything is nice and bubbly it's done!! We chopped some fresh parsley and had some lemon just in case someone wanted a little more lemon flavor.

Add the wine (if you really love lemon, add another splash of lemon juice) and cook the shrimp for about 3 to 4 minutes until the shrimp is done.

Prepare the Flatbread

When the shrimp are done remove from pan. Drizzle the liquid (garlic, butter, wine, and lemon juice) over the pizza. Spread out the garlic on the flatbread. Place pieces of the mozzarella on the bread.

When the pizza is done the cheese will be melted and the crust will be golden. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes or so. I know, it's so hard to wait but we found it is totally worth letting everything just settle into place. Trust me it's worth the few minutes!! Before serving, sprinkle on some fresh parsley and give everyone a lemon slice. Just in case they want a little additional zing from the lemon on their shrimp scampi flatbread pizza.

Some of our favorite homemade pizzas: Spinach Artichoke Dip Pizza, Chicken Cordon Bleu, Mushroom four cheese, Cheese sausage and cherry pepper, Spicy Pesto chicken, Cheese, Sausage, Cherry Pepper, and Grilled Chicken Caesar salad.

TIPS:

  1. Cook the Flatbread pizza according to the bread recipe for oven temperature
  2. If the shrimp has a "shrimpy" fishy smell check out this blog post on how to eliminate the smell. It works!!!!
  3. If you don't like parsley just leave it off or use Basil, Oregano or even Cilantro.
  4. Use Sharp Cheddar Cheese if you don't have Mozzarella Cheese in the Fridge. I would say use your favorite cheese if it tastes good with shrimp. I wouldn't use American Cheese. Haha!!!
