Individual pita pizzas are the perfect choice when you’re in the mood for pizza, but want a healthier option that’s still super tasty!

  • Yield: 2 Pita Pizzas 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 medium raw shrimp, shelled and deveined (defrosted if using frozen shrimp)
  • 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 oat bran or other whole grain pitas
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 3 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced zucchini rounds
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, red pepper flakes and garlic powder. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  3. While shrimp is marinating, place pitas on a baking pan. Spread 1-1/2 teaspoons of olive oil onto each pita, going up to the edge. Grind some black pepper over the oil.
  4. Divide the spinach evenly between the two pitas and place on top of the olive oil. Do the same with the mozzarella, then the parmesan, and finally the zucchini rounds.
  5. Finally, place 6 shrimp on each pita pizza and drizzle the marinade evenly over the pizzas. Add a few grinds of black pepper over the top.
  6. Place pan in oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and pita is toasty.
  7. While pizzas are in the oven, place the balsamic vinegar in a sauce pan set over high heat. Reduce the vinegar until it is thick and syrupy, about 1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons. Be sure to watch closely since this will only take a few minutes and can burn very quickly.
  8. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over each pita.
  9. Cut each pita into 4 slices.
