Ingredients
1 large pre-made flatbread (pita or naan)
4 oz raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded fresh mozzarella
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 pinch salt and pepper
Optional: lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
In a microwave or small skillet, melt butter with garlic until fragrant (30-60 seconds)
Spread melted garlic butter evenly on flatbread
Sprinkle salt and pepper over flatbread
Distribute mozzarella cheese evenly on top
Arrange shrimp over mozzarella
Place flatbread on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until crust is crispy and cheese is melted
Remove, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately
Notes
Use pre-made flatbread to save time on dough preparation
Fresh parsley is essential for brightness; dried herbs won’t substitute
Shrimp overcooks quickly—watch the final 2 minutes of baking
For extra heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes during baking
