Pre-cooked shrimp is easy to find in the frozen section and thawing takes little time when you place the shrimp in a colander under running water. Steam your own or have the fishmonger steam some for the freshest possible outcome The simple flavors are great together with a variety of texture and color. If using for a dinner salad, simply toss this mixture with some mixed greens or baby spinach and a little lime juice. Add some chopped tomato and green bell pepper for added color and extra veggie power.

  3. Use the Topping On: Half recipe (about 1 pound) Basic Pizza Dough—cornmeal variation, rolled into a 12-inch circle. Bake on a nonstick pizza pan or baking sheet in a 500°F oven, about 8 minutes, then top with the shrimp mixture and bake until crisp, 4 to 6 minutes.
