Hawaiian BBQ Shrimp Pizza

                                        I've been doing a ton of experimenting with good for you recipes ever since I committed myself to a healthier lifestyle. Why can't food not only be healthy, but taste good also? I am determined to come up with a collection of recipes that taste like the real deal! So here it is, my very first healthy recipe.

 I was almost in shock when I took the first bite. The crust was perfectly crisp and not too chewy or grainy, like I'd imagined it would be. The BBQ sauce added a nice balance to the rest of the ingredients. I hope you enjoy!!!

For the crust:

3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees)
2 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 tsp sea salt (you could also use table salt)
1 tsp honey
2 cups whole wheat flour
* makes 1 Large thin crust pizza

Pour water, salt and honey into a large bowl and mix until blended. Sprinkle the yeast on top of the honey and water mixture and let set (approximately 5 mins) until foamy. Gradually add in the flour, stirring with a wooden spoon until formed into a soft slightly sticky ball. Lightly flour a clean surface and knead dough (adding more flour if needed) until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let set for 10 minutes before rolling out. Roll out thin with a rolling pin then place in a lightly greased pan. (I used spray olive oil) Pre-bake crust at 400 degrees for 7-10 mins

For the toppings

1 lb extra large pre-cooked shrimp
1 small red onion(sliced thin)
1 cup fresh pineapple (you could also use canned)
1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce (I used a low-carb kind)
1 1/2 Sargento reduced fat 4 cheese Mexican blend cheese
1tsp BBQ seasoning( I used Butt Rub seasoning)
2 tbsp Italian parsley finely chopped (optional)

wash and remove shrimp tails, then pat dry with paper towels. Season shrimp, then set aside. Add BBQ sauce to your crust and spread evenly. Arrange onions, pineapple, and shrimp to the desired amount. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Bake 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. For a crispier crust brush edges of dough with olive oil.
