Pizza Ingredients
- 2 Tortillas
- 1/4 Onion
- Pizza cheese (to taste)
- Tomato sauce
- Pepperoncino flakes (optional)
- Fresh Arugula (optional)
Shrimp Marinade
- 2 Tbsp Mirin (or cooking wine)
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 1 pinch Salt (if using unsalted butter)
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Oligodang (or honey)
- 2 Tbsp Mirin (or cooking wine)
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 1 pinch Salt (if using unsalted butter)
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Oligodang (or honey)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
For the best texture and flavor, use larger shrimp if possible. In a bowl, lightly season the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of mirin (or cooking wine) and a pinch of black pepper.
Step 2
Finely dice the onion for the pizza topping. Chopping it into smaller pieces makes it easier to eat on the pizza.
Step 3
Leftover tomato sauce can be frozen for later use. Simply thaw it in the microwave when needed for convenient preparation.
Step 4
Using two tortillas provides a sturdier base for toppings and adds a satisfying bread-like texture to the pizza. (Whole wheat tortillas may appear darker in color.)
Step 5
Add pizza cheese generously according to your preference. More cheese means a more delightful, stretchy pizza experience!
Step 6
Let’s make the delicious garlic butter sauce! Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Stir in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of oligodang (or honey). If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
Step 7
It’s important to pre-cook the shrimp. Applying the sauce directly to raw shrimp can make the tortilla soggy as the butter melts. Briefly sauté the marinated shrimp in a pan until the outer surface is just cooked. Then, coat them evenly with the prepared garlic butter sauce. This step ensures clean, flavorful garlic butter shrimp toppings.
Step 8
To help the two tortillas stick together, sprinkle a small amount of pizza cheese along the edges of the bottom tortilla. As the cheese melts, it will bind the layers together securely. Make sure to cover the edges evenly.
Step 9
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the tortillas, then evenly distribute the diced onions. Feel free to add other toppings like olives, bell peppers, or corn for extra flavor.
Step 10
Top generously with more pizza cheese, and then arrange the pre-cooked garlic butter shrimp over the cheese. Don’t be shy with the ingredients when making pizza at home!
Step 11
Bake in a preheated oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes, or until the pizza cheese is melted and bubbly and the shrimp is fully cooked. Adjust the baking time as needed based on your oven or air fryer.
Step 12
Carefully transfer the hot, freshly baked tortilla pizza to a plate. For an extra kick, sprinkle with pepperoncino flakes and top with fresh arugula. The slightly bitter arugula complements the rich garlic butter shrimp beautifully. (Pepperoncino flakes and arugula are optional, but highly recommended for a delightful taste experience!)
