I am a major peanut sauce lover. As in, I can eat it right by itself. But, it is even better on a pizza with shrimp. This is just really soooo good!
Now, I will tell you, I used raw vegetables on this and raw shrimp. This makes it a little wet because the moisture cooks out of the vegetables. You can cook them first if this bothers you and it won’t happen, but I think having crisp-tender vegetables and shrimp that are not over cooked is worth it. And, if you give it about five minutes to set before you eat it, most of the moisture sets up or soaks in anyway.
You can use any pizza crust you like – store bought or homemade. I used this quick recipe from my friend Jenny of In the Kitchen with Jenny. I like it because I don’t like super thick dough, and it is not and it is super quick. The only change I made to the recipe was to use all-purpose whole white wheat flour because we are trying not to eat too much white flour.
