Title: Seafood Pizza
Categories: Breads, Seafood, Cheese, Vegetables, Herbs
Yield: 8 slices
1 md Pizza Dough; ho-made or
- store bought
2 cl Garlic; divided
1/4 lb Small (U-60) shrimp; peeled
- deveined, chopped in bite
- sized pieces
1/4 lb Sea scallops*; uncooked
1/4 ts Salt; divided
1 tb Olive oil
1/2 c Whole milk ricotta cheese
Fresh ground black pepper
2/3 c Shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tb Grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 ts Dried oregano
1 Handful sliced red onion
1 tb Butter
Chopped parsley; garnish
Place a pizza stone in the oven and heat to 500°F/260°C OR set your
pizza oven @ 500°F/260°C.
Prepare the toppings:
Mince the garlic, reserving 1 clove in a small bowl for later. Pat
the shrimp and scallops dry and chop them into bite sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, mix the shrimp and scallops with 1 clove of the
minced garlic and 1/4 ts salt. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tb olive
oil on medium high heat. Cook the seafood for 1 to 2 minutes until
mostly cooked through, stirring occasionally. When done, transfer
to a bowl.
In a small bowl, mix the ricotta with the rest of the salt and
fresh ground black pepper to taste.
Bake the pizza:
When the oven is ready, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina
flour. (If you don't have a pizza peel, you can use a rimless
baking sheet or the back of a rimmed baking sheet. But a pizza peel
is well worth the investment!) Stretch the dough into a circle,
then gently place the dough onto the pizza peel.
Spread an even layer of the seasoned ricotta onto the dough with a
spatula, then sprinkle on 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Add the
shrimp and scallops, reserving the liquid at the bottom of the
bowl. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and Parmesan
cheese. Top with red onion, oregano, and 2 pinches kosher salt.
Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the
preheated pizza stone. Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust
are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes in the oven (or 1 to 2
minutes in a pizza oven).
Make the garlic butter and serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a
minute or two while you make the garlic butter. In a small
saucepan, melt 1 tb butter with the reserved 1 minced garlic clove.
Top the pizza with garlic butter and chopped parsley. Slice into
pieces using a knife, and serve immediately (cutting it with a
knife is easiest to cut through the shrimp).
Notes: * If you have access to bay scallops, you can use whole bay
scallops to replace the chopped sea scallops.
UDD NOTES: If/when I make this I will definitely use a layer of
Onofrio's Basilico (

Anazzo. And fresh sliced basil on top.
