Double Pesto Shrimp Naan Pizza Food

BASIL PESTO AND 3-CHEESE NAAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Combine basil, Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup olive oil, walnuts, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender; blend pesto until desired consistency, 5 to 8 minutes. Add 1 extra tablespoon olive oil at a time for a thinner pesto. Set aside.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in mushrooms, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Saute until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 naan and cook until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Spread naan with a generous amount of pesto, and top with ricotta cheese, feta cheese, and sauteed mushrooms. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cook until cheese is melted. Repeat with second naan and remaining ingredients.

TUSCAN KALE PESTO PIZZA WITH SHRIMP SCAMPI

Steps:

• For the Tuscan kale pesto: Place the entire dressed salad--including the hazelnuts, raisins and shaved pecorino--in a food processor and process to a fine paste. With the motor running, stream in the olive oil until the paste loosens into a pesto. Use immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days before using. (Makes 2 1/2 cups; see Cook's Note.)
• For the shrimp scampi: Heat the butter and olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with 2 teaspoons salt; add to the hot pan, along with the garlic. Cook until the shrimp are just starting to turn pink, 3 minutes. Add the wine and chile paste, and bring to a boil; boil until the shrimp are cooked through and the wine is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Season with more salt if needed.
• For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with foil.
• Place the flatbreads, bottom-side up, on the prepared baking sheets; brush each with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Transfer to the oven and toast until just beginning to brown and get crispy. Let cool for 5 minutes.
• Turn the flatbreads over, spread 1/4 cup kale pesto over each and then sprinkle each with 1/3 cup of the fontina. Place back in the oven for another 5 minutes, until the top edges have browned slightly and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and top with 6 to 8 pieces of shrimp per pizza. Spoon over some scampi sauce.
• Cut the pizzas into smaller pieces and serve immediately.
• In a large bowl, combine the kale and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Massage the salt into the kale and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. In another bowl, combine the raisins, 1/4 cup of the vinegar and 1/4 cup hot water. Rehydrate the raisins for at least 15 minutes. Drain when ready to serve.
• Combine anchovies, grated pecorino, shallots, honey and the remaining 1/4 cup vinegar in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add in the oil. Pour the dressing over the salad at least 15 minutes before serving to help further tenderize the kale.
• When ready to serve, add the toasted hazelnuts and plumped golden raisins to the salad, and garnish with shaved pecorino.

SHRIMP ALFREDO NAAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line 3 baking sheets with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Combine onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, and cauliflower in a medium bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix to combine. Place on 1 of the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove vegetables and set aside. Lower oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese; cook and stir until sauce is smooth and starts to thicken, about 10 minutes.
• At the same time, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in garlic and cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pat shrimp with paper towels to remove any moisture and add them to the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until shrimp are pink, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Place 2 naans on each of the 2 remaining foil-lined baking sheets. Lightly spray tops of naans with cooking spray. Spoon some Parmesan-cream sauce on each naan, spreading it all the way to the edge. Arrange cooked vegetables on top of the sauce, followed by the cooked shrimp. Spoon the remaining sauce over shrimp and top with shredded Italian and Asiago cheeses.
• Bake naan pizzas until cheese is melted and naans are starting to get crispy at the bottom, 10 to 15 minutes.
