Cooking steps

-
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 475 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Sprinkle 3 TBSP flour over a clean work surface. Remove pizza dough from packaging and place on floured surface. Shape each piece of dough into a ball. (TIP: Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray or dust with flour to prevent sticking.) Evenly sprinkle dough balls with 2 TBSP flour.
-
Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

-
Rinse shrimp* under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Ingredient Quantities
Shrimp
10 ounce
Garlic
3 clove
Scallions
2 units

- Heat 1 TBSP butter and a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat (2 TBSP butter and a large drizzle of oil for 4 servings). Once butter has melted, add scallion whites, garlic, Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
-
Sprinkle 1 TBSP flour (2 TBSP for 4) over pan and cook, stirring constantly, until incorporated, 30 seconds. (Cooking the flour is important to remove the raw flavor!)
Ingredient Quantities
Garlic
3 clove
Italian Seasoning
1 tablespoon
Flour
½ cup
-
Salt
1 teaspoon (tsp)
-
Butter
1 tablespoon (tbsp)

-
Add cream cheese and 1 cup water (1¾ cups for 4 servings) to pan with flour mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 2-5 minutes.
-
Stir in shrimp and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp are mostly cooked through, 1-2 minutes (shrimp will finish cooking in the oven). Turn off heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a plate, reserving scampi sauce in pan (you’ll use it in Step 6!).

Salt
1 teaspoon (tsp)

-
Once dough has rested 20 minutes, line a baking sheet (two baking sheets for 4 servings) with parchment paper. Working one dough ball at a time, carefully press and stretch dough into a rough oval shape and place on one side of prepared sheet (you’ll have two dough ovals per baking sheet). TIP: If needed, use a rolling pin to help roll out dough.
-
Cover dough with a clean kitchen towel and let rest 15 minutes. (This will make stretching the dough into a larger shape even easier!)

-
Once dough has rested 15 minutes, use floured hands to press and stretch dough on baking sheet into larger oval shapes, about 10 inches long and 5-6 inches wide.
-
Spread dough with scampi sauce, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with shrimp and sprinkle with mozzarella. Drizzle or brush edges of dough with olive oil.
Ingredient Quantities
Shrimp

Flour
½ cup
-
Olive Oil
1 teaspoon (tsp)

-
Bake pizzas on top rack until crusts are golden brown and crisp, 14-18 minutes. (For 4 servings, bake on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
-
Zest lemon directly over pizzas and garnish with scallion greens. (Zesting the lemons right over the pizzas will ensure a fresh and intense lemon flavor!)
-
Quarter lemon and squeeze as much juice as you like over pizzas.
-
Slice pizzas as desired and divide between plates. Serve.
