Instructions

1. Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and heat broiler to high. Place cream cheese in a small bowl of warm water to soften. Wash and dry produce. Trim and quarter mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons. Rinse shrimp under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add shrimp; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
2. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes. Add zucchini, garlic powder, a pinch of salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are lightly browned and tender, 2-3 minutes more. Use pan used for shrimp here.
3. While veggies cook, finely chop chives. Thinly slice tomato into rounds; season with salt and pepper. Quarter lemon. In a second small bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese and half the chives until smooth.
4. Place flatbreads smooth side up on a lightly oiled, foil-lined baking sheet. Toast on top rack until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. (For 4 servings, divide between two lightly oiled, foil-lined sheets; toast on top and middle racks.)
5. Once flatbreads are toasted, remove sheet from oven. Carefully flip flatbreads, then evenly spread with chive cream cheese. Top with cooked veggies and tomato; sprinkle with Italian cheese blend. Return to top rack and broil until edges are browned and cheese melts, 2-4 minutes. (For 4 servings, broil on top and middle racks, swapping positions halfway through.) TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning! Transfer flatbreads to a cutting board and slice into quarters. Add shrimp along with veggies and tomato.
6. Divide flatbreads between plates. Garnish with remaining chives and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
