Preparation
1
Start Prep & Rest Dough

  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 475 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Sprinkle 3 TBSP flour over a clean work surface. Remove pizza dough from packaging and place on floured surface. Shape each piece of dough into a ball. (TIP: Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray or dust with flour to prevent sticking.) Evenly sprinkle dough balls with 2 TBSP flour.

  • Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

2
Finish Prep

  • While dough rests, trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and finely chop garlic.

  • Rinse shrimp* under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

3
Start Sauce

  • Heat 1 TBSP butter and a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat (2 TBSP butter and a large drizzle of oil for 4 servings). Once butter has melted, add scallion whites, garlic, Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds.

  • Sprinkle 1 TBSP flour (2 TBSP for 4) over pan and cook, stirring constantly, until incorporated, 30 seconds. (Cooking the flour is important to remove the raw flavor!)

4
Finish Sauce

  • Add cream cheese and 1 cup water (1¾ cups for 4 servings) to pan with flour mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 2-5 minutes.

  • Stir in shrimp and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp are mostly cooked through, 1-2 minutes (shrimp will finish cooking in the oven). Turn off heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a plate, reserving scampi sauce in pan (you’ll use it in Step 6!).

5
Stretch Dough

  • Once dough has rested 20 minutes, line a baking sheet (two baking sheets for 4 servings) with parchment paper. Working one dough ball at a time, carefully press and stretch dough into a rough oval shape and place on one side of prepared sheet (you’ll have two dough ovals per baking sheet). TIP: If needed, use a rolling pin to help roll out dough.

  • Cover dough with a clean kitchen towel and let rest 15 minutes. (This will make stretching the dough into a larger shape even easier!)

6
Shape & Assemble Pizzas

  • Once dough has rested 15 minutes, use floured hands to press and stretch dough on baking sheet into larger oval shapes, about 10 inches long and 5-6 inches wide.

  • Spread dough with scampi sauce, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with shrimp and sprinkle with mozzarella. Drizzle or brush edges of dough with olive oil.

7
Finish & Serve

  • Bake pizzas on top rack until crusts are golden brown and crisp, 14-18 minutes. (For 4 servings, bake on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)

  • Zest lemon directly over pizzas and garnish with scallion greens. (Zesting the lemons right over the pizzas will ensure a fresh and intense lemon flavor!)

  • Quarter lemon and squeeze as much juice as you like over pizzas.

  • Slice pizzas as desired and divide between plates. Serve.
