Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Whisk together the yeast and 1/4 cup of the water in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to proof.
Place 1 3/4 cups of the flour in a large bowl with the salt.
Add the yeast mixture, the remaining water, and oil and stir until combined.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth. Grease a large bowl with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil, add the dough, and turn to coat. Cover and place in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat the grill to high. Once the dough has risen, divide it in half. Divide each half into 2 balls.
Roll each ball into an 8-inch circle.
Brush with oil and grill on both sides until golden brown.
Spread a few tablespoons of the Cilantro Pesto over each pizza, top with a few slices of buffalo mozzarella, and then top with 4 shrimp and cilantro leaves.
Place the pizza on the grill until the cheese melts.
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.;
Preheat the grill to medium-high.
Brush each shrimp with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through (shrimp will be opaque and turn pink).
Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio
Shrimp works really well with Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Vina Leyda Sauvignon Blanc with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.
Vina Leyda Sauvignon Blanc
Showcasing expressive minerality, the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc is marked by a powerful aromatic intensity and a wide aromatic spectrum, with herbal, citric and tropical notes. It is fresh on the palate, offering a crisp, tangy acidity and a juicy, citric finish. Pair with crab cakes, chicken tarragon or mussels.
