- Distribute the prawns evenly across the pizza.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the tomatoes and prawns.
- Season the pizza with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
