When you are a fattie (such as myself) looking to lose weight you can feel like you’re missing out on the delicious food like pizza. I stumbled on lavash flat-bread at a Middle Eastern market in Orlando. I felt like I was in heaven. Beautiful spices and sauces everywhere and in the very corner in the refrigerated section were these lovely flat-bread. They are SO tasty. We use lavash for dipping with hummus and other delicious spreads and most recently we started making it in to flat-bread pizzas. No more feeling sorry for myself. 🙂 Thanks to the wafer thin lavash this bakes up with a crunchy thin crust texture and it is loaded with flavor thanks to the feta, red onion and tomato.

Find Lavash (or any thin flat-bread) and then makes this post-haste!

Shrimp and Feta Lavash Flat-bread Pizza

1 large sheet of Lavash (I had to cut mine to fit a 15 x 10 inch baking sheet)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large tomato, sliced thinly
1/4 of a small red onion sliced vertically (thin!)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
cracked black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
6 oz. feta cheese
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup green onions, chopped for garnish (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425
Cut shrimp in half down the center of the shrimp, as if you were butterflying the shrimp but all the way though. This will give you two thin flat pieces of shrimp that will cook very quickly. Set aside.
Trim lavash bread to fit baking sheet (or lay whatever size fla-tbread you could find on the baking sheet)
Brush lavash with olive oil
Bake for 2-3 minutes until it begins to get crisp
Remove from oven
Spread tomato slices over lavash to form a thin layer
Spread red onion slices over tomatoes
Sprinkle over salt, pepper and Italian Seasoning
Crumble Feta over seasonings and top with shrimp halves, make sure to make a single layer of shrimp so they cook quickly and evenly.
Bake for 5-7 minutes until flat bread is crispy and shrimp is pink. Garnish with green onions.
Cut with a knife or pizza cutter and serve immediately.
