Shrimp and Pesto Pizza with Goat Cheese


After a packed day of checking things off our wedding to-do list, this was a quick and delicious recipe I adapted from pinterest.  This will now be one of our regulars!  I think it would also be good on a premade Freschetta crust.

Ingredients:
Pillsbury pizza crust
about 1/4 cup pesto spread (enough to spread a thin layer over crust)
1 pound small-medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or garlic powder
salt and pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 ounces crumbled goat cheese

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spread crust on greased baking sheet. Spread the pesto over crust in a thin layer.  Heat olive oil in a medium pan.  Add shrimp and sprinkle with garlic powder, pepper, and salt.  Cook shrimp for about 2 minutes until pink. 
Spread shrimp over pesto.  Sprinkle with mozzarella and goat cheese. Bake for 13-15 minutes.  In the convection oven I baked it for 11 minutes.  Let cool for just a minute or so, cut, and serve.
