Friday night pizza is a thing around here.  Always has been.  We look forward to it all week long!   We thought we would get out of our red sauce pizza rut and add a little white sauce and why did we wait so long!

Start with our great for beginner Basic Pizza Dough Recipe.  But no judging if  you want to pick up a package of pizza dough from your local grocer.  Or even a pre-made pizza crust.  We aren’t pizza snobs around here.

Whats the secret to your Easy 5 minute Alfredo Sauce?

  • Rather than making a traditional roux (cooking equal parts butter and flour), we add the flour to the grated parmesan and then right into the heated cream it goes!  Boom, instant thick sauce!  No waiting around for the sauce to reduce.

Ingredients for 5 Minute Alfredo Sauce:

  • 1 1/2 cups half and half or heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan or pecorino cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • pinch of salt and pepper

What kind of pan should I use for the perfect pizza?

  • We love a cast iron for pizza..well no secret.  Rachel and I love a cast iron pan for about everything but it really works for a pizza!   This 12″ Lodge Cast Iron pan makes the crust crispy for restaurant style pizza.
  • No cast iron, no worries!  A pizza stone, a sheet pan or even a cookie sheet will work just fine.

We kind of shrimp should I use for this pizza?

  • we used pre cooked, no tail, deveined medium size shrimp
  • Can I use raw shrimp?  Yes!    Plenty of time for the shrimp to cook up!  Just make sure you thaw clean and devein them and pat them dry.
  • NOTE: avoid ‘salad’ shrimp if possible.  They are very small and can get over cooked and tough during the 20 minute high temp cooking time.

Tips for the Best Homemade Pizza!

  • Start with homemade pizza dough if you can.  It’s remarkably easy to make, pliable and comes out crispy.   If you simply don’t have the time, buy store bought dough.  It can be a little sticky.  Work it with a little flour if necessary.
  • if you want a crispy crust, use only a enough dough to cover the pan and discard or save the rest for another time.
  • Preheat  your oven!  Pizzas like it hot!
  • Use a thin layer of sauce so your crust stays crispy.
  • Don’t over cook your protein.  Start with raw or slightly cooked shrimp, chicken etc etc.
  • Go light on the cheese!  More cheese does not a better pizza make.
  • Get creative – forge for your pizza!  Check out your cabinets and crisper for veggies and canned goods but go light.  Don’t overload your pizza!
