RecipeInstructions
  1. Pre heat oven to 375 deg F.
  2. Take a large mixing bowl and add the cassava flour, the salt and oil to it. Then add half of the hot water and stir using a spatula to wet the flour. Then add all the rest of the hot water and the extra olive oil. Knead using your hands to form a smooth dough (Dough will be oily but smooth).
  3. Line a baking tray with parchment or Al foil and brush liberally with the olive oil. Place the dough on this tray and flatten it using your fingers to form a rectangle / flatbread like shape. Pierce lightly everywhere with a fork.
  4. Place tray in the oven and bake at 375 F for about 18 - 22 mins until the bottom is golden.
  5. While the crust is baking, in a pan, add the oil and when hot add the onions. Saute for 2 mins until soft and then add the spinach, scallions and the garlic. Stir fry and cook for about 2 mins on medium heat. Add the salt and the chilli powder (if adding) and cook for another 1 min. Add the shrimp and mix for 1 min and then turn heat off.
  6. After the crust has cooked for 15 mins, take the tray out of the oven, spread the shrimp and spinach mixture on top of it. Spread the sliced olives too on top (if using)
  7. Place tray back in the oven and bake for 3-5 mins or until the shrimp is fully cooked and opaque.
For the sauce:
  1. Add all sauce ingredients to food processor or blender and blend till smooth and creamy. Check for salt and add more as needed.
  2. Serve pizza with avocado sauce on top.
Notes
The thinner you make the crust, the crispier and tastier it will be!
