MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 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 (http://www.onofrios.com) from my friend Joe Anazzo. And fresh sliced basil on top.
