There’s no such thing as too much shrimp on a pesto pizza!
|
Ingredients (for 1 tortilla pizza):
- 1 tortilla/flatbread (I use Dempster’s Thins Tortilla at 80 cal)
- 50 g shrimp (8 pre-cooked, tail off)
- 1 tsp basil pesto (I used Kirkland, but you can make your own!)
- 2-3 basil leaves
- 40 g tomato (~1/3 roma tomato)
- 15 g shredded cheese (I used part skim mozzarella)
- 10 g yellow onion (or green onion/chives)
- 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
|
Instructions:
- Bake tortilla in the oven at 425 F for 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut up all necessary ingredients. I like to cut my shrimp lengthwise and then in half to fill the tortilla evenly
- Take tortilla out of the oven, cover with 1 tsp pesto and layer with onion, basil, tomato and balsamic vinegar.
- mix shrimp with 1/2 tsp lemon juice and add to tortilla
- Top with cheese, place in oven for an additional 4-6 minutes or until cheese is melted and tortilla is brown and crispy but not burnt.
- I like to cut mine into eight small pieces – they look adorable and hold together pretty well too!

- Cutting suggestions: Find the lowest calorie flatbread you can, use more fresh basil and cut down on the pesto, use less cheese or a lower calorie cheese.
- Bulking suggestions: Use more pesto for sure, it’s delicious and made with olive oil and nuts – many healthy fats for you! Sprinkle on some extra cheese, use a larger flatbread, or just use a regular pizza dough as well!
