Shrimp and Cherry Tomatoes Pizza
Shrimp is savory where cherry tomatoes is fresh and tangy, and a shared sweet streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Succulent, sweet shrimp bring a taste of the coast to pizza with delicate briny flavor and tender bite. Blistered cherry tomatoes burst with bright, sweet-tart juice on every slice. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together. Both toppings peak in summer, which makes this a natural summer pizza.
