To prepare the garlic butter sauce: In a food processor, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley, 1 cup cubed day-old bread, juice from 1/2 lemon, and 2 tablespoons roasted garlic (with some of its oil). Blend until a thick, paste-like sauce is formed. Set aside.

To cook the shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning until evenly coated. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 2 tablespoons of the prepared garlic butter sauce to the hot pan.

Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Sauté, shaking the pan, until the shrimp begin to turn pink, about 2-3 minutes. Grate the zest from 1/2 lemon directly over the shrimp, then squeeze in the juice from the same 1/2 lemon. Pour in 1/4 cup dry white wine. Continue cooking until the shrimp are cooked through and the sauce has reduced slightly, about 2-3 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the pizza: Generously dust a pizza peel with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Place the pizza dough onto the floured peel. Gently stretch and flatten the dough into a 12-14 inch circular shape.

Spread the remaining garlic butter sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Arrange the cooked shrimp evenly over the cheese layer. Drizzle some of the pan sauce from the cooked shrimp over the toppings. Add the remaining 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the shrimp and sauce.

Carefully transfer the pizza from the peel to the preheated oven (onto the pizza stone, baking steel, or baking sheet). Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
