Equipment

  • iron skillet
  • rimmed baking sheet
  • microplane or grater

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz pizza dough
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 2 oz sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 oz barbecue sauce
  • 10 oz wild US gulf shrimp
  • 1 ⁄2 lb broccoli
  • olive oil
  • coarse kosher salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prep dough & ingredients: Preheat oven to 500°F with racks in center and bottom positions. Set pizza dough aside to come to room temperature. Trim ends from onion, then halve, peel, and thinly slice. Finely chop 2 tablespoons of the onions. Grate cheddar cheese on large holes of a box grater.
  • Prep sauce & shrimp: In a small bowl, stir barbecue sauce with 2 tablespoons water. Pat shrimp dry and cut each into thirds. Transfer shrimp to a 2nd small bowl. Add 1 teaspoon oil and 1 tablespoon of the sauce and season with a pinch each salt and pepper.
  • Prep broccoli-onion roast: Trim ends from broccoli, then cut into 1-inch florets with some stem attached. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss broccoli with 1 tablespoon oil and a generous pinch each salt and pepper and spread to a single layer on one half. On the other half, toss sliced onions with 1 tablespoon oil and a generous pinch each salt and pepper.
  • Roast broccoli & onions: Roast broccoli and onions on the center oven rack, stirring each side once about halfway through, until crisp-tender and charred in spots, about 10 minutes. Cover and keep warm.
  • Make pizza: On a floured surface, roll or stretch pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. If dough springs back, let sit 5 minutes, then roll again. Transfer dough to a 2nd oiled baking sheet. Spread with remaining barbecue sauce (leaving 1-inch border) and top with raw chopped onion and cheese. Bake on bottom rack until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling, 10-12 minutes.
  • Finish & serve: Remove pizza from oven and scatter shrimp on top. Drizzle lightly with oil and sprinkle with pepper. Return pizza to oven and bake just until shrimp are pink and curled 2–3 minutes. Top with roasted sliced onions. Cut into wedges and serve roasted broccoli alongside. Enjoy!
