Grilled Shrimp And Clinatro Pesto Pizza
- 1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 3/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
- 1 3/4 to 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus additional for kneading and dredging
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon for greasing the bowl
- Cilantro Pesto, recipe follows
- 8 ounces buffalo mozzarella, thinly sliced
- Grilled Shrimp, recipe follows
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
- Cilantro Pesto:
- 3/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Grilled Shrimp:
- 16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Whisk together the yeast and 1/4 cup of the water in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to proof. Place 1 3/4 cups of the flour in a large bowl with the salt. Add the yeast mixture, the remaining water, and oil and stir until combined. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth. Grease a large bowl with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil, add the dough, and turn to coat. Cover and place in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat the grill to high. Once the dough has risen, divide it in half. Divide each half into 2 balls. Roll each ball into an 8-inch circle. Brush with oil and grill on both sides until golden brown. Spread a few tablespoons of the Cilantro Pesto over each pizza, top with a few slices of buffalo mozzarella, and then top with 4 shrimp and cilantro leaves. Place the pizza on the grill until the cheese melts. Serve hot.
