Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined , and halved lengthwise
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/2-3/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 (12 inch) boboli pizza crusts
1/2 medium sweet onion, cut into thin wedges ( walla walla or vidalia)
1 small red bell pepper, seeded , deribbed, and cut into long thin strips
2 cups coarsely shredded mozzarella cheese
10 fresh basil leaves , torn into large pieces
1 large garlic clove
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 (16 oz) jar roasted red peppers, drained and blotted dry with paper towels
3 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese
4 large fresh basil leaves , torn into large pieces
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions:

To make the roasted red pepper pesto (this is optional but highly recommemded), process the garlic and salt in a food processor until garlic is minced.
Add in the roasted red peppers, parmesan, basil, olive oil, sugar, and red pepper flakes; process until smooth; use immediately or transfer to a covered container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
To make the pizza: position an oven rack in the center of the oven and place a baking stone (if using one) on the rack; preheat oven to 500°.
In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
Remove the boboli crust from the plastic bag and save the packet of tomato sauce for another time.
Place the pizza crust on a pizza screen, pizza pan, or rimless baking sheed, or on a pizza peel ready to slide directly onto the baking stone.
Spread the pesto evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
Scatter the onion and bell pepper over the sauce.
Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top.
Scatter the basil over the cheese; place the shrimp in a single layer over the cheese.
Place the pizza in the oven on the rack or stone; bake about 10-12 minutes, until the crust is crisp and a deep golden brown, and the shrimp are pink and slightly curled.
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately.
