Ingredients

- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread the rice mixture into a round pizza shape, about ½ inch thick. Make sure to press it down firmly to hold the shape.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the rice crust. Top with the cooked shrimp, sliced fish cake, and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top.
- Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing into wedges.
