👨🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Shrimp
- Toss shrimp with Cajun seasoning, paprika, and lemon juice.
- Sear in a hot skillet with oil or butter for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cajun Cream Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and Cajun seasoning. Let it cook until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Build the Flatbread
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Brush flatbreads with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
- Spread a layer of the Cajun cream sauce over each flatbread.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Arrange shrimp, broccoli, and bell pepper slices on top.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and edges are golden and crispy.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
- Sprinkle with red pepper flakes or chopped parsley.
- Slice, serve hot, and enjoy that creamy, spicy goodness!
🔥 Pro Tip: For extra crispy results, pre-bake the flatbread alone for 3 minutes before adding toppings.
