Utilize that grill while you can! This Summer Shrimp and Sweet Corn Grilled Pizza is full of seasonal veggies and creamy burrata!
Don’t put up those grills just yet! This Summer Shrimp and Sweet Corn Grilled Pizza is the perfect way to use up the fresh bounty of the end of the season.
I have to admit, with the whole having a baby thing, I haven’t utilized my grill this summer like I normally do. For one, I’m pretty much out of propane and it’s too much of a hassle to go get more, tbh. Secondly, it’s just been so hot, and the heat from pregnancy and the grill don’t mix. I know I’m not selling grilling very much, but what I’m saying is that I’ve missed it! Now that we’re home from the hospital and things are (sort of) getting back to normal, I had to make one of my favorite grilled meals… pizza.
This pizza has all of my favorite summer produce, tomatoes, fresh corn, and basil. Add some shrimp and creamy Burrata to the mix and you’re in business! Obviously, you can use this method with any toppings you want, but I love keeping things seasonal.

- Once the dough is cooked, remove it from the grill and place it back onto the baking sheet.
