For a different but equally delicious pizza, try using part-skim mozzarella cheese in
place of the feta.

Makes 8 servings

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 cup diced onions
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup coarsely chopped celery
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup canned Spanish-style tomato sauce
1 small bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Pinch ground red pepper
32 medium shrimp (about 1 pound), peeled and deveined
3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Preheat oven to 475o F.
To prepare dough, in medium bowl, combine 2 cups of the flour, the cornmeal and
salt; gradually stir in 3/4 cup water, stirring until mixture holds together.
Sprinkle work surface with remaining 1/4 cup flour; transfer dough to prepared
surface. Knead dough 2 minutes; set aside, covered, 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in medium nonstick skillet, heat oil; add onions, bell pepper, celery
and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, 5 minutes, until
vegetables are softened. Add tomato sauce, bay leaf, oregano, thyme, ground red
pepper and 1/4 cup water; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer,
stirring occasionally, 10 minutes, until mixture is thickened.
Roll dough into a 12" circle; transfer to 12" pizza pan, pressing to form a stand-
up rim. Bake 12 minutes. Remove crust from oven; leave oven on.
Remove and discard bay leaf from tomato sauce mixture. Spread tomato sauce
mixture over baked crust to within 1/2" of rim; top evenly with shrimp and
cheese. Bake 5 minutes, until shrimp turn pink and cheese is melted. Cut into 8
equal wedges.
