Equipment

  • Large Skillet for that garlic-butter-shrimp magic.
  • Slotted Spoon the unsung hero for rescuing shrimp without the extra liquid.
  • Pizza Cutter sharp enough to make quick work of that golden crust.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp freshly minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp white wine
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 lb medium shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 container garlic and herb cheese spread Alouette or Boursin recommended
  • 1 ready-made pizza crust
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella or Italian cheese blend divided
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F.
  • In a skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute (aka the best smell in the world).
  • Add white wine, oregano, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir to combine, then simmer for 1 minute.
  • Toss in shrimp and cook just until pink, about 2–3 minutes. (Don’t overdo it—remember, they’ll cook more in the oven.)
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove shrimp to a plate. Set aside. Remove pan with the garlicky juices from heat.
  • Spread an even layer of garlic and herb cheese spread over your pizza crust. (Full container or half—follow your cheese-loving heart.)
  • Sprinkle on 1 cup of shredded mozzarella or Italian cheese. Arrange shrimp on top, then drizzle some of those glorious garlic-butter pan juices over the pizza.
  • Add the remaining shredded cheese and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Top with Parmesan and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

 
Pairing Suggestions
  • Crisp white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio) – matches the scampi vibes.
  • Simple side salad – something green to balance the butter and cheese party.
  • Garlic knots or breadsticks – because why stop at one form of carbs?
