Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 250°C (480°F) with a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet inside. Toss 120 g raw shrimp with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Roll out 250 g pizza dough on a floured surface to 30 cm diameter. Spread 100 ml tomato sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle 150 g shredded mozzarella cheese.
  3. Step 3: Arrange seasoned shrimp, 1 small sliced green bell pepper, and 6 halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the cheese. Bake on the hot stone or baking sheet for 7-9 minutes until crust is golden, shrimp are opaque, and cheese is bubbly.
  4. Step 4: Remove pizza from oven, scatter 30 g shredded iceberg lettuce on top, and drizzle 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce evenly over the pizza. Slice and serve immediately for a fresh, sweet-spicy finish.
