Shrimp Scampi Pizza
Pairs with Elephant Island Reserve Chardonnay
Prep Time: 10 mins + 45 mins for campfire prep
Cook Time: 10 mins per pizza
Servings: 2
- Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, diced
- ⅓ cup Elephant Island Reserve Chardonnay
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- ~300g cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 350g pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- ¼ cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup fresh arugula
Cooking Instructions
- Start your campfire 30–45 minutes before cooking to allow it to burn down and produce enough coals. You’ll need approximately 18 medium-sized coals. Preheat the cast iron Dutch oven by placing it next to the fire, rotating every ~10 minutes to heat evenly.
- Over the fire or on a campstove, melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots, and cook for a few minutes. Stir in the white wine, parsley, lemon zest, and shrimp, and cook for another few minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Divide the pizza dough in half and roll out into medium-sized rounds (ensure they fit the base of your Dutch oven). Place each on parchment paper for easier transfer.
Spoon a few spoonfuls of the sauce onto each pizza base, then add shrimp and sundried tomatoes. Top with mozzarella cheese. - Carefully transfer one pizza into the hot Dutch oven. Remove 6 coals from the fire and place them in a circle on the ground. Set the Dutch oven on top. Add 10–12 coals on the lid.
Bake for 6–10 minutes until golden brown, checking after 6 minutes to avoid burning. - Transfer to a cutting board, top with fresh arugula, slice, and enjoy!
