Why Shrimp Alfredo Flatbread?

Shrimp Alfredo Flatbread is a delicious dish that combines the creamy richness of Alfredo sauce with the savory goodness of shrimp on a crispy flatbread crust. It’s a sophisticated version of traditional pizza that is both satisfying and elegant. Shrimp is a lean source of protein, making this dish a healthier option without sacrificing taste.

What you’ll need:

Flatbread crust: Using store-bought flatbread crust streamlines the cooking process. You can create a delicious Shrimp Alfredo Flatbread with minimal effort and maximum flavor, making it the perfect dish for a busy holiday weekend.

Large shrimp: Large shrimp tend to be more succulent and flavorful than smaller shrimp. Their size allows them to retain moisture better during cooking, resulting in a juicier and more satisfying bite. This enhances the overall taste of the flatbread, ensuring each slice is packed with shrimp’s savory goodness.

Garlic: Alfredo sauce is rich and creamy, and garlic helps to cut through that richness by adding a subtle sharpness. This prevents the flatbread from becoming overly heavy and ensures the flavors remain well-balanced.

Heavy cream: Gives the Alfredo sauce its signature smooth and velvety texture. This creaminess coats the flatbread and shrimp beautifully, creating a decadent mouthfeel that’s satisfying and indulgent.

Parmesan cheese: Thickens the Alfredo sauce, contributing to its rich and creamy consistency. As the cheese melts and integrates into the sauce, it provides a smooth, velvety texture that clings to the shrimp and flatbread.

Shredded mozzarella cheese: Mozzarella helps bind the toppings together, ensuring the shrimp and other ingredients stay on the flatbread. This makes the flatbread easier to slice and serve, with each piece holding together well.

Pizza seasoning: Pizza seasoning typically contains a mix of dried herbs like oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary, along with spices like garlic powder and onion powder. This combination adds a savory, aromatic boost to the flatbread, complementing the creamy Alfredo sauce and enhancing the flavor of the shrimp. (If pizza seasoning is unavailable, feel free to use Italian seasoning).

Other seasoning: I like using creole seasoning in the alfredo sauce, but if you do not have this on hand, you will need onion and garlic powder, as well as salt and pepper, to taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your flatbread will get crispy while the toppings cook to perfection.

2. Prepare the Flatbread: Place your flatbread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Make the sauce: In a saucepan, sauté the garlic until it becomes aromatic. Next, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Then, stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Creole seasoning. Mix everything well and bring it to a boil. Taste the mixture and add more cheese or seasoning to suit your taste. Finally, set it aside.

4 Layer the sauce: Spread a generous shrimp Alfredo sauce over the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges. This will act as your pizza sauce, adding a rich, creamy base.

5. Add Shredded Cheese: Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and pizza seasoning.

6. Bake to Perfection: Place the flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden brown.

7. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the flatbread from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil. If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes before serving.
