If you're bored with the classic cheese and tomato pizza, this is for you. The pizza gets its name from its main ingredient, prawns. The prawns are cooked perfectly and add a savory flavor to the pizza, complimenting the pesto sauce, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and roma tomatoes well. You can choose to make your pesto sauce at home, but for a quick-and-easy preparation, you can use store-bought pesto sauce. This pizza is sure to be a crowd favorite at any get-together.

4.	Arrange the sliced roma tomatoes, sliced kalamata olives and sun-dried tomatoes over the cheese.
5.	Arrange the prawns over the top of the pizza.
6.	Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted and golden.
