Alfredo is kind of a big thing over here. We love making our fresh and easy homemade alfredo sauce for pasta night when we serve our fettuccini with mushroom alfredo or our favorite garlic shrimp alfredo pasta recipe.

We try to always make a larger batch of homemade alfredo sauce so we can use leftover alfredo sauce to make this amazing shrimp alfredo pizza recipe.

What is shrimp alfredo pizza?

Shrimp pizza can be made various ways, the two most commonly found at a pizzeria with gourmet pizza slices would be a zesty shrimp scampi pizza or a creamy and veggie filled shrimp alfredo pizza; also known as shrimp pizza with white sauce.

A shrimp alfredo pizza is a pizza that has pizza crust, covered in a creamy white alfredo sauce, then topped with spinach, tomatoes, shallot, cooked shrimp, and topped with a lovely amount of mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients Needed

Pizza dough. Make your own pizza dough or use store bought for a shortcut.
Shrimp. Although large shrimp might be your favorite, set aside the large, fresh shrimp and grab already cooked small shrimp for this recipe.
Tomatoes, spinach and shallot. The veggies bring color and nutrients to your pizza!
Alfredo sauce and mozzarella cheese. For extra creamy slices of pizza.

How to Make Shrimp Alfredo Pizza

Place thawed pizza dough on a well-floured surface and gently roll it out. The beauty of homemade pizza is that you’re able to create your own artisan style pizza. Have fun and go against the mold of a perfectly even circle. Place it on a parchment lined pizza pan.
Pinch the edges of the pizza to slightly raise the edges for a lovely crust.
Spread a thin layer of alfredo sauce over the center of the pizza dough, just to where the crust begins. We are using our homemade alfredo sauce, but feel free to use your favorite store bought alfredo sauce.

Add the toppings. Be sure to use cooked shrimp and halve your grape tomatoes. Keep in mind, you want your shrimp pizza toppings to be bite sized and to not weigh down your dough.

Finally add on your cheese. Be mindful that this shrimp alfredo pizza is already quite heavy with toppings, so be careful with how much shredded cheese you add.

Load your pizza into a preheated oven and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the crust is risen and slightly browned in some areas. Also, you have to make sure the cheese is bubbly!
Remove your pizza from the oven and allow your pizza to cool slightly before cutting.

Allowing your pizza to cool allows your cheese to stay adhered to the toppings and your dough. If you try to grab a slice of pizza too soon, your cheese and toppings will just slide off your slice of pizza.

Recipe Variations

Use a blend of mozzarella, colby jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, and a few spoons of shredded pepper jack cheese for a nice kick!
Add fresh herbs and seasonings such as basil, chives and even garlic. A squeeze of lemon juice will add a pop of flavor, too.
If you want, sprinkle some dried oregano or chili pepper flakes over the cheese before baking for a prettier presentation!
You can butter the crust and add a seasoning such as an Everything Bagel Seasoning or simply add a light amount of garlic powder for a nice garlic knot taste!
