Lemon Garlic Shrimp & White Cheese Pizza (plus a bonus)!

Last weekend, my 14 year old brother held a sleepover at our house. This meant that I was in charge of feeding 10 hungry teenagers...who are mainly taller than me. I needed to create something that would be filling and could be done in bulk. So in addition to the pizzas, they had Rotel Dip and Italian Meatballs. I will warn you and let you know that due to the types of cheeses I used, it can get pricey. But a lot them can also be found outside of the deli and in the dairy aisle of your local grocery store. Additionally, due to the time constraints, I didn't have time to make anyone's dough from scratch. Thank you Pillsbury! The first recipe is everything listed in the ingredients sans the colored peppers, broccoli, shredded Mozzarella and cilantro. The second one includes everything. I hope that you enjoy!!!

Ingredients:

• 2 cans of whole wheat pizza crust. (I chose to use Pillsbury's brand, but I've heard that Trader Joe's has some awesome ones as well.)
• fresh spinach
• lemon juice
• garlic evoo
• mushrooms
• parsley
• cilantro
• basil
• 1 1/2lbs of jumbo deveined shrimp
• red onion
• red and orange bell peppers
• broccoli 
• crumbled Feta cheese
• shredded Asiago cheese
• shredded Parmasan cheese
• shredded Mozzarella cheese
• shredded Romano cheese 

After cleaning and removing the tails from your shrimp, cut them into quarter of an inch pieces. In a mixing bowl, add 3tbsp on lemon juice, 3tbsp of garlic evoo and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix evenly and sit in the refrigerator as you prepare your veggies. Cut about about 1/2 of your red onion Julienne style. Wipe your mushrooms off with a damp paper towel, remove the core and slice evenly. Also, I like pizza FULL of toppings. So I used the entire package of mushrooms, half of each bell pepper and the entire bag of spinach while making these two pizzas. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease your baking pan with a non-stick spray and roll your dough out. Once in the pan, rub garlic evoo on your dough and place in the oven. Depending on how you like your crust, will determine how long you initially leave your crust in the oven. I like my crust on the softer side, so I left it in for 5 min. While your dough is browning, cook your shrimp. Since they're already seasoned, spray your skillet with a non-stick spray and cook on medium to high. Once they are pink, they're done. 

Remove your crust from the oven and top with toppings! Add a hefty bed of spinach, then your onions and mushrooms, then your shrimp, then all of your cheeses. Lastly, top with parsley and basil. Bake for an additional 10min and you're ready!

Now for the next pizza, you'll almost do the same thing as the first one. Except, in a mixing bowl, add a 1/2cup of each bell pepper (chopped), 1 cup of sliced mushrooms, 1 cup of red onions, 2 cups of broccoli and 2tbsp of evoo. Mix evenly. After browning your dough, add all of your toppings, shrimp, all the cheeses mentioned in the ingredients section, parsley, basil and cilantro.

Bake for 12 min on 400 degrees. Remove from oven and let stand for 3min. 

Slice and serve!
