Shrimp and pesto pizza

This is my favorite pizza to make at home. It's thin crust, so no heavy dough blowing up your sleeve, and there's lots of healthy fat from olive oil.

Crust:

1 cup flour (I always use white flour - whole grain might be a bit gritty for this pizza)

1 tbsp olive oil

appx 1/2 cup Water - just eyeball the amount, as you need to be able to roll the dough quite thin

Toppings:

cooked, peeled shrimp

sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), drained and chopped

some crumbled feta

some shredded mozza (go easy on the cheese - this isn't meant to be a gooey cheesy pizza)

pesto

Pesto:

bunch of fresh basil

handful of pine nuts (I've heard of people using walnuts, as well)

olive oil

shredded parmesan

Process the pesto in a food processor until it's the consistency of a thick paste

I like to make this pizza on the barbecue - it takes only about 5-7 mins to cook that way.

Roll the dough as thin as possible on top of a greased sheet of foil; transfer to the grill before you put the toppings on. Put all the toppings on, I usually put shrimp on first, then sun-dried tomatoes, then feta, then a sprinkling of mozza, and then drops of pesto all over. Grill on medium and make sure to check it after 5 mins and then again every 2 mins or so til the mozza and pesto have melted and the crust seems crisp. Don't go too far away, or it'll burn!

Sorry for lack of precise measurements, I'm a play-it-by-ear kind of cook. Just eyeball things according to your tastes.
