Shrimp and Spinach Pizza

The blank canvas I used today was a gluten free pizza crust by Udi's (on sale right now on the gluten free mall - link on side of blog).  I had a small portions of assorted vegetables that I thought would make a perfect pizza or pasta. The crunch of the pizza crust enticed me to make a pizza!

For this pizza I used:

• 1 cup of diced sweet onion, garlic, and leek
• 2 cups of rinsed and diced fresh spinach
• 6 frozen pre-cooked medium shrimp 
• olive oil
• gluten free pizza crust
• 1 cup of cheese
• crushed red pepper

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350 and remove frozen pizza crust from the freezer
• Prior to assembling my pizza, I sauteed the sweet onion, garlic, and leek in a pan with 2 tbsp olive oil
• After 5 minutes add the frozen shrimp and continue to sautee till defrosted
• Remove the shrimp from the pan and remove tails. I diced the shrimp but they can be left intact. Cook's Choice!
• Add the spinach to the pan with the shrimp
• Cook until spinach begins to melt

Assemble the Pizza:

• Place the crust on a pizza tray and brush (or spray) a small amount of olive oil on the crust
• Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes if you wish some heat ... more if you want more heat
• Spoon the shrimp and vegetable mixture on the crust and try to spread evenly
• Add 1 cup of cheese (evenly)
• Bake for 10 - 12 minutes  until the cheese melts and the edges of the crust appear to tan/brown 
• Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes before cutting and serving
