Wow - this pizza is so tasty! If you like Earl's California Shrimp pizza then you'll love this. I used frozen pizza dough, that I thawed and placed on my pizza stone, instead of a flatbread shell and it worked well - just have to cook it a little hotter and for a little longer. I didn't have Herbs de Provence, so I used Mrs. Dash Original blend and it added nice flavour. Everyone in my family love this so I'm sure it will become a regular meal time favourite. Thanks!

Don't forget to cut up a lemon and squeeze over top to finish the pizza off. It tastes delicious and compliments the rest of the pizza's flavor.
