Recipe: Gulf Shrimp Pizza

One of the reasons pizza restaurants do so well 
on Super Bowl Sunday is that pizzas are easy (and inexpensive) to make. Another reason is that they taste good. 
Keep in mind that a good pizza starts with a good crust. Pizza dough — risen, punched down and shaped into ready-to-roll balls — stores well in the refrigerator or freezer, so you can always keep some on hand for a quick dinner. 
When it comes to toppings, the sky's the limit. But whatever you choose, try to use a light hand with the quantity. Pizzas cook better when they're not overloaded. 

Store-bought pesto, precooked frozen salad shrimp and roasted peppers from a jar make this pizza a snap.
