Garlic Shrimp Flatbread with Spinach and Cotija

If someone where to tell me that I could eat either pizza or shrimp everyday for the rest of my life, but not the other, it would be a very, very, very hard decision. 

My response would probably be this concoction: lots of garlic sauteed with lots of shrimp on top of a flatbread (pizza crust). I knew it needed some sort of base and while I do not completely subscribe to the idea of no cheese with shrimp as the Italian traditionalist do, I wanted something bring and green. Rather than using pesto I steamed some spinach and pureed it with only a little water to make a thick spread. It was perfect!

Using cotija cheese as a finishing touch was a no brainer, as that's typical of shrimp tacos but when I didn't have any lemon, lime juice really took this to a another level! It was remeniscent of this pizza which is another favorite.
