Shrimp and Arugula Pizza
Shrimp is savory and sweet where arugula is fresh and herby, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Succulent, sweet shrimp bring a taste of the coast to pizza with delicate briny flavor and tender bite. Peppery, crisp arugula adds a fresh, vibrant bite as a post-bake pizza topping. On a Classic Basil Pesto base, the sauce's herbaceous and garlicky character ties the two together.
