Pesto Shrimp Tortilla Pizza

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:

  1. Bake tortilla in the oven at 425 F for 4 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cut up all necessary ingredients. I like to cut my shrimp lengthwise and then in half to fill the tortilla evenly
  3. Take tortilla out of the oven, cover with 1 tsp pesto and layer with onion, basil, tomato and balsamic vinegar.
  4. mix shrimp with 1/2 tsp lemon juice and add to tortilla
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
