Notes
The most time-consuming part of making this pizza is peeling the shrimp. To save time, purchase raw pre-peeled shrimp.
You can also use large or jumbo-sized shrimp. Slice them in half before placing them on the pizza so that they are thinner and will still cook quickly.
If you don't like shrimp, try substituting chicken. The chicken should be cooked before being added to the flatbread pizza.
For a vegetarian version substitute the shrimp with grilled zucchini, bell peppers, artichokes, eggplant, and/or summer squash.
Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried herbs. Increase the quantities to 1 tablespoon each.
For easier cutting, allow the pizzas to cool for a few minutes before cutting.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
