This recipe combines the bold flavors of buffalo shrimp with a creamy ranch drizzle, all atop a crispy pizza crust.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the lowest rack.
Preheating the stone or sheet ensures a crispy crust.
In a bowl, toss the shrimp with half of the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
Let the shrimp sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Spread the ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving a border for the crust.
A thin layer prevents the pizza from becoming soggy.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the ranch dressing.
Distribute the cheese evenly for consistent coverage.
Arrange the shrimp and shallots over the cheese.
Place the shrimp evenly to ensure each slice gets some.
Bake the pizza on the preheated stone or sheet for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Rotate the pizza halfway through for even cooking.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Resting allows the toppings to set and makes slicing easier.
Garnish with shaved celery and carrots before slicing and serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
