Shrimp Pesto Pizza


This pizza is something that I re created from one of my favourite dishes at Phoenix Grill. If you like Mediterranean cooking you will like it too I think.
Ingredients:
Medium sized pizza crust (I buy whole wheat pizza crust at Safeway, but you can certainly make your own. If you have such time and ambition-I do applaud you.)
1 ½ cups of shrimp, cooked and tails removed
¾ cup feta cheese, crumbled
¾ cup  fresh parmesan cheese, grated
Pesto Sauce:
1 ½ cups fresh basil leaves
½ cup pine nuts
3 cloves garlic, chopped
½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
¾ cup olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 C
In a food processor combine all of the pesto sauce ingredients until it has a creamy consistency. Spread on the pizza as you would a regular tomato sauce.
Throw on your cooked shrimp, sprinkle both cheeses to cover the shrimp and season with a little bit of black pepper.
Bake for 20 minutes or until cheeses are bubbling. Broil for 5 minutes or until cheeses just start to brown.
Let it sit out to cool for 10 minutes and slice it up!
