Shrimp and Feta Cheese Pizza with Rosemary
Source: Better Homes and Gardens
8 ounces fresh or frozen peeled and deveined shrimp
2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
2 teaspoons dried basil, oregano, or Italian seasoning,
crushed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water (120 degree F to 130 degree F)
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6 ounces)
1 2-1/4-ounce can sliced pitted ripe olives
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup sliced green onion
1 tablespoon snipped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried
rosemary, crushed
Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Halve shrimp lengthwise; set
aside.
In a large bowl combine 1-1/4 cups of the flour, the
yeast, herb, 2 cloves minced garlic, and salt. Add water
and 2 tablespoons oil. Beat with an electric mixer on
low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat
on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a spoon, stir in as
much of the remaining flour as you can. Turn dough out
onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough
remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is
smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Divide dough
in half. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
Grease two 11- to 13-inch pizza pans or baking sheets.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each half of dough
into a circle 1 inch larger than pizza pan. Transfer
dough to pans. Build up edges slightly. Flute edges, if
desired. Prick generously with a fork. Do not let rise.
Bake in a 425 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or
until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook shrimp and 2 cloves
minced garlic in 1 tablespoon oil for 1 to 2 minutes or
until shrimp turn opaque, stirring frequently. Sprinkle
mozzarella cheese over hot crusts. Spoon shrimp mixture
over mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with olives, feta
cheese, green onion, and rosemary. Bake for 10 to 12
minutes more or until mozzarella cheese melts and pizza
is heated through. Makes 6 servings.
Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare pizza dough. Divide into 2 equal
portions. Place in plastic freezer bags. Seal, label,
and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in refrigerator
before using.
