Ingredients
  

FOR SAUCE:

FOR SHRIMP MARINADE:

FOR PIZZA & TOPPINGS:

  • ¼ cup red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup onion sliced
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 8 oz broccoli florets
  • 1 can pizza dough / flatbread dough or homemade flatbread dough equivalent
  • ½ cup mozzarella shredded
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling
  • balsamic vinegar for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the shirmp marinade. Separate about a half cup into a small bowl and set aside. Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp and marinate for at least one hour or overnight.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the ricotta and lemon juice. Set aside to chill.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, ginger, parsley, honey and olive oil. Chill for one hour to develop flavor.
  • Preheat a skillet over medium high heat. Melt the butter until frothy then saute the red bell pepper and onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside. In the same skillet, flash saute the broccoli for 1-2 minutes in the remaining butter until it has brightened in color.
  • Preheat the grill to 425 F. Unroll the flatbread dough onto a pizza peel and brush with melted butter and the reserved marinade. Flip the flatbread so that it is butter side down.
  • Working quickly, brush the flatbread dough with the BBQ sauce, remaining reserved marinade, dollops of the ricotta cheese, raw shrimp and the sauted veggies. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top.
  • Carefully transfer the flatbread to the grill by sliding the dough from the pizza peel.
  • Close the grill and cook for 3-8 minutes, until the flatbread is puffed up and the shrimp is cooked on top. Use tongs to carefully transfer the cooked pizza to a clean pizza peel or heat proof cutting board.
  • Drizzle the cooked flatbread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, as desired. Cut and serve warm. Enjoy!
