Healthy Shrimp Deluxe Pizza
Today, I’m off to Boulder to meet Holly Clegg, cookbook author and occasional guest poster here at This Mama Cooks! She’s doing several book signings here in Colorado to support her new women's lifestyle cookbook: Too Hot in the Kitchen: Secret To Sizzle At Any Age. Check out her blog, The Healthy Cooking Blog and her website, HollyClegg.com, to find out if she’s doing any book signings or TV and radio appearances near you.
I love how Holly takes something not-so-healthy and makes it good for you. This recipe is from her cookbook, Gulf Coast Favorites.
Shrimp Deluxe Pizza
No need to order out for pizza when you can easily have hot-out-of-the-oven pizza in the comfort of your own home. Shrimp and a great assortment of my favorite fresh ingredients make this an amazing pizza. For a vegetarian pizza, simply omit the shrimp.
Makes 6–8 slices
Ingredients:
Directions:
Preheat oven 400°F. Coat crust with oil and garlic. Sprinkle with basil.
In a small nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, sauté mushrooms bout 5 minutes or until tender. Add spinach, stirring until wilted.
Evenly spoon spinach mixture over crust and top with remaining ingredients. Bake 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crust
Terrific Tidbit: Fresh mozzarella cheese has a different texture and taste than packaged mozzarella cheese. It is slightly higher in fat but I think it is worth the flavor.
