Ingredients:

• 4 (6 inch) round pizza crusts or flat breads

• 2 heaping tablespoons pesto spread

• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

• salt and pepper

• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place your crusts on nonstick baking sheets. Evenly distribute and spread the pesto over each crust; set aside.

Coat the shrimp with the olive oil and then sprinkle with the garlic and some salt and pepper. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, sear the shrimp for about 1 minute, flip and cook for another 30 seconds.

Place 5 shrimp on each pizza, sprinkle with the mozzarella and goat cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese starts to brown on the edges. Let cool for just a minute or so and serve.
