- Preheat oven to 500F. Get a large cast iron pan and drizzle in olive oil. Place thawed pizza dough in pan and coat over with olive oil in pan. Allow dough to come to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, coat a non-stick pan with cooking spray and heat to medium-high. Cook the shrimp for approximately 2 minutes each side. Set aside and remove the tails of the shrimp. Discard tails.
- Place the case iron pan with pizza dough over low heat and spread dough to the edges of the pan using your fingers. Spoon pesto over dough and spread evenly, leaving a small area around the pizza for crust. Next, layer on the mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, cooked shrimp, and feta cheese.
