- Arrange the shrimp al aglio e olio, hearts of palm, and tomatoes on the pizza dough. Drizzle the toppings with a little bit of palm oil (optional).
- Bake for about 10 minutes (or follow instructions on the package of the pizza dough).
- Remove from oven, sprinkle the chopped cilantro/parsley, and serve immediately with wedges of lemon on the side. Pizza can be accompanied by a fresh salad and a glass of white wine. Enjoy!
