Its a textured, fragrant meal that balances creamy dressing with a nutty finish from toasted sesame seeds.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Grill the prepared pizza
    A rectangular pizza topped with shrimp and mixed vegetables being placed on a long charcoal grill grate inside a professional kitchen.

    Place the rectangular pizza dough, loaded with colorful peppers, onions, corn, ham, and fresh shrimp, onto the hot charcoal grill. The intense heat from the coals will crisp the bottom of the dough while beginning to cook the vibrant toppings and melt the butter base.

    Tip: Position the pizza carefully over the embers to ensure even heat distribution across the entire rectangular crust.
  2. 2Grill the topped pizza dough

    Place the prepared pizza dough, generously loaded with shrimp, ham, corn, peas, and peppers, onto a preheated charcoal grill. As the base begins to crisp, spread raw egg over the toppings to bind the ingredients and add a rich, savory layer to the crust.

    Tip: Keep a close eye on the charcoal heat; a steady, medium heat ensures the crust cooks through without burning while the egg sets perfectly.
  3. 3Drizzle with dressing and sesame

    While the pizza is cooking over the hot coals, drizzle a creamy salad dressing in a uniform zigzag pattern across the entire surface. Follow this by sprinkling toasted black sesame seeds to add a nutty aroma and visual contrast to the vibrant toppings.

    Tip: Using a squeeze bottle for the dressing helps achieve a professional, even look and ensures every bite gets a bit of tang.
  4. 4Apply the sweet garlic sauce

    Brush a thick layer of golden, minced garlic sauce over the pizza once it is partially cooked. This sauce provides the signature fragrant aroma mentioned in the recipe and caramelizes slightly under the heat for a deep, sweet, and savory flavor profile.

    Tip: Dont be shy with the garlic sauce; it is the primary flavor driver of this dish. Ensure it reaches the edges of the toppings.
  5. 5Final garnish and serve
    Freshly sliced red and green chilies scattered over a steaming charcoal-grilled shrimp pizza.

    Finish the pizza by sprinkling freshly chopped red and green chili peppers over the top. Allow the pizza to grill for another two minutes, letting the heat slightly soften the chilies and meld the flavors before removing it from the charcoal grill to serve.

    Tip: If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the chilies before chopping and sprinkling them over the pizza.
