Yield:

1 10-inch pizza

In a departure from the standard pizza toppings, grilled dough is spread with basil pesto and scattered with shrimp, sliced tomatoes, and shaved Parmesan. No grill? No problem. Cook this dough in a cast-iron skillet over high heat, or on a preheated sheet pan or pizza stone in a 500-degree oven.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons basil pesto
3 ounces grilled shrimp
2 small tomatoes, sliced
¼ small red onion, sliced
shaved Parmesan
Basic Grilled Pizza Dough
Herb Oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

Heat it up:
Set up a grill with heat source, coals or gas, on one side over medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill.
Stretch it:
On a lightly floured work surface, stretch or roll 1 piece Basic Grilled Pizza Dough or 4 ounces store-bought dough into a 10-inch-long oval or other desired shape. Brush one side lightly with Herb Oil or olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill it:
Using your hands, place dough, oiled side down, directly over heat source. Brush dough with herb oil or olive oil and cook until underside is lightly charred and bubbles form all over top, 1 to 2 minutes. With tongs, flip dough and cook until lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes. Slide dough to cooler side of grill.
Top it:
Top with pesto, shrimp, tomatoes, onion, and Parmesan; cover grill. Cook until cheese melts and toppings are heated through, 2 to 5 minutes.
