Shrimp and Pesto Naan Pizza

Let me first say that I love pizza and never get tired of it. Whether it's the greasy, deep-dish kind (with extra cheese and pepperoni) or a healthier, thin crust version with vegetables, I cannot get enough pizza.  I bought whole-wheat naan the other day at Wegmans, and thought it might taste good as a pizza. It does! I once made a shrimp scampi pizza and loved it, so I winged it a little and put some pesto on the shrimp and added a little tomato and mozzarella. Easy and good, and perfect with a salad.  I also think this has to be healthier than most pizza parlor pies, so I enjoyed this without any guilt. :)

Recipe Swap

I was very excited this week to participate in a recipe swap, thanks to a great cook with one of my favorite blogs, A Taste of Home Cooking.


When I got this recipe, I knew I would like it, even though salmon is not my favorite fish. I am actually growing to like it, though. I love pesto, so I couldn't see how I would not make it. I experimented a little and made it twice but definitely liked it the second time around, when I followed the recipe to the letter. It was just so flavorful, and the only way it can be improved is with homemade pesto. Hopefully, this summer I will make it again with some fresh pesto instead. Plus, it was super easy to make, and quick--which is good  because I tend to get really hungry on week nights and like to eat early.

The recipe is located on Jenna's Cooking Journey Blog.
