GRILLED SHRIMP AND PESTO PIZZA

Steps:

• Place pizza stone on grill grates and heat grill, with the lid closed, to a temperature around 400-425F.
• Sprinkle the corn meal on a pizza peel, cutting board or parchment paper.
• Shape dough into a round 10" pizza crust and place on the pizza peel, cutting board or parchment paper. The corn meal will allow the pizza to transfer onto the pizza stone smoothly.
• Spread the pesto evenly on the pizza dough and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the pesto.
• Top the pizza with shrimp, tomatoes, onions, and crumbled feta cheese.
• Slide the pizza onto the pizza stone carefully. Close the lid and let the pizza bake on the grill for 15-20 minutes. The crust should be browned along the edges and the mozzarella cheese should be melted and bubbly.
• Lift the pizza off the stone and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
• Cut it into 8 pizza slices and serve.

GRILLED SHRIMP & PESTO PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp olive in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp, sprinkle them with salt, and sear very briefly. The shrimp should sear about 30 seconds per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
• Roll out the dough into six 6-inch rounds. Lay them on a flour-covered cutting board until you're ready to use them.
• Before the pizzas go on the grill, be sure to have all of your ingredients ready and sitting right beside the barbecue.
• Place the pizza dough rounds on the grill. Depending on the size of your grill, you may have to do this in two batches. Close the lid and grill for about 2 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and there are grill marks on the bottom of each round.
• Flip the rounds and press down slightly with the back of a metal spatula to get rid of some of the air inside the dough. Quickly divide the pesto, shrimp, and mozzarella evenly amongst the pizzas.
• Close the lid and grill until the cheese melts, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the grill and let the pizzas sit for about 5 minutes so that the crust absorbs the olive oil released from the pesto.

Grease a large bowl with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil, add the dough and turn to coat. Cover and put in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high. Once the dough has risen, divide it in half, and set aside half for another use or for the Red Chile-White Anchovy Caesar Salad Pizza. Then divide the half into 4 balls. Roll each ball into 8-inch circles. Brush each circle with oil and grill on both sides until golden brown. Add 1/2 cup grated cheese to each pizza and grill until the cheese is just melted. Remove from the grill and spread a few tablespoons of the cilantro pesto over each pizza. Top each pizza with 4 shrimp and sprinkle with cilantro leaves.
• Put all ingredients in the work bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.;
