directions

Place shrimp with all marinade ingredients in a medium container. Shake well. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F if using a pizza stone, or 450 degrees F if using a baking sheet.

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a sheet of parchment paper if using a stone or to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with olive oil.

Spread salsa over the dough. Top with half the cheese. Transfer shrimp to a colander and strain out garlic and cilantro. Add shrimp to pizza. Add green onions. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

For a pizza stone, bake at 500 degrees F for 10 minutes, or until both the top and bottom of the crust are brown and the cheese is melted.

For a baking sheet, bake at 450 degrees F for 20 minutes, or until both the top and bottom of the crust are brown and the cheese is melted.

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Serve hot.
