Ingredients

  • 1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 3/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
  • 1 3/4 to 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour plus additional for kneading and dredging
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil, divided, plus more for brushing dough
  • 2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • Cilantro Pesto, recipe follows
  • Grilled Shrimp, recipe follows
  • Cilantro leaves, for garnish

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the yeast and 1/4 cup of the warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes to proof. Place 1 3/4 cups of the flour in large bowl with the salt. Add the yeast mixture, the remaining water, and 2 teaspoons oil, and stir until combined. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth. 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.

Cilantro Pesto:

Put all ingredients in the work bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Grilled Shrimp:

  • 16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the grill to high. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with enough olive oil to coat, and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Remove from grill and keep warm until ready to use.

    This was delicious!! I've never grilled pizza before, it was amazing. So crispy, and the shrimp with the pesto was incredible over the crispy pizza crust. I found that the dough recipe really only made about half of what Bobby says it should have made (I used all of it for this recipe, with none saved for another use, as stated. Otherwise, it was perfect and I'll definitely make again.
