Deconstructed Shrimp-Goat Cheese-Jalapeno Poppers Pizza

After a long day of making jalapeno poppers, of which we are very fond, we were left with a number of leftover ingredients. Not wanting anything to go do waste, we took a good look at our ingredients pile and found we had the perfect collection for pizza! Talk about good news! All we had to do was whip up a simple flatbread, then pile on the preferred ingredients, though you can easily use Italian or French bread, or even a store bought crust. Here is one of the pizzas we enjoyed.

  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • pinch of salt

  3. Separate dough into 2 portions and flatten with a rolling pin to about 1/4 inch thickness.
