Shrimp Scampi Naan Pizza

April 24, 2022 by [email protected] 16 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This shrimp scampi naan pizza has the best of both worlds. Shrimp in lemony garlic butter is added to the top of soft naan bread and then baked with tomatoes and two kinds of cheese. A combination that was meant to be.

This naan pizza recipe is the perfect meal for two. Pair it with a sweet-tasting strawberry-based beer and this could make the perfect date night or girl’s get-together dinner idea.

  • Shrimp Scampi Naan Pizza

I decided to make this recipe without tomato sauce. Brushing the scampi butter garlic sauce on the bread, then drizzling the rest on the top gives this pizza using naan bread those drool-worthy butter pools.

What beer pairs well with shrimp scampi naan pizza?

The beer: Strawberry Blonde from Shiner

At first, I was skeptical of this beer with strawberry in it. I find that sometimes a fruit-flavored beer, even if it’s a blonde, can go sideways and taste like cough medicine real quick. But that was not the case with this one. It was the perfect pairing for this pizza.

What should you watch on pizza night?

Outer Range on Prime video is so good. If you don’t come for the story, come for the music. It’s a whole mood. Twin Peaks vibes.

Ingredients

This shrimp scampi pizza has-

  • Frozen salad shrimp that has been thawed out
  • A sauce made with olive oil, butter, chicken stock, and garlic
  • Juice of a lemon
  • Parsely and red pepper flakes
  • Soft Naan bread
  • Diced cherry tomatoes
  • Parmesan and mozzarella cheese

Take the thawed shrimp and add that and the chicken broth to the pan. Let simmer for another 2 minutes.

Turn off the heat. Squeeze in the juice of a lemon.

Finish by adding the dried parsley and red pepper flakes.

Don’t let the liquid reduce in this recipe because you will want the extra for brushing the top and pouring over the cheese.

Preheat the oven to 425-degrees.

Add both pieces of naan bread to a 9×13 baking sheet covered in parchment paper.

Using a basting brush, take the melted butter mixture and brush it on both pieces of bread.

Sprinkle with the parmesan and mozzarella cheese.

Spoon the cooked shrimp onto the naan bread, splitting between both.

Drizzle both with the rest of the garlic butter on top.

Place in the oven and bake for 8 minutes.

Tips & Variations

  • I prefer to use frozen cooked shrimp in this recipe, but you can certainly use fresh shrimp for this recipe.
  • This recipe was made without wine, but you can replace the chicken broth with white wine instead.

    Really delicious! We never made pizza with shrimp before but it may become our favourite pizza topping from now on! Using naan bread as a base was ingenious too! Thanks for the recipe!

    Using Naan bread as a pizza base is such a genius idea! It’s exactly the right texture and if anything more flavourful!
