Homemade Red Lobster-Inspired Lobster Pizza

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If your pizza crust or flatbread package specifies a different temperature, follow those instructions.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and minced garlic. This will be your flavorful base.

3. 3

   Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet. Brush the garlic-infused olive oil evenly over the crust, leaving a small border for the edge.

4. 4

   Sprinkle about half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the oiled crust.

5. 5

   Evenly distribute the chopped lobster meat over the cheese.

6. 6

   Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes or sliced Roma tomatoes over the lobster.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the toppings. Season lightly with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

8. 8

   Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cooking times may vary depending on your oven and crust type.

9. 9

   Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately scatter the fresh basil leaves generously over the top.

10. 10

    Let the pizza cool for a minute or two before slicing into wedges and serving warm.
