Start the timer. Dinner will be ready in 20 minutes – quicker than order-in pizza. And while it cooks, you could whip up a simple green salad to serve alongside.

Ingredients

2 large store-bought wood-fired pizza bases
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp zaatar, plus extra to sprinkle (see note)
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
1 green chilli, thinly sliced
16 large peeled green tiger prawns, halved
¼ cup oregano leaves, to serve
lemon wedges, to serve

Method

Step 1
Preheat oven to 180C fan-forced (200C conventional). Place the pizza bases on two large baking trays. Mix 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the zaatar together in a small bowl and brush over each pizza base.
Step 2
Place the remaining oil, garlic, lemon zest, chilli and prawns in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to coat. Place the prawns on top of the pizza and drizzle with any remaining garlic oil.
Step 3
Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the base is golden and the prawns are just cooked.
Step 4
Serve topped with oregano, lemon wedges and extra zaatar.
