Pizza with shrimp

Pizza with shrimp

Shrimp is a versatile meat for cooking. Shrimp soup, shrimp risotto, shrimp pizza.

I remember as a child, on the Black Sea beach in some small town, small shrimp were sold by the glass, and cheaply.

When asked “where did you catch them?” the merchants began to talk nonsense, which is usually uttered by spouses who have been on a spree to their spouses when they show up at home in the morning. Now shrimp are sold in stores completely civilly, all that remains is to prepare the sauce for the shrimp.

Shrimp is an affordable seafood product, a gift from the sea. They are caught in the ocean by the millions, sorted by size and boiled in the same water in which they were caught. At least that's what it says on the packaging. Shrimp are also grown artificially in ponds. And, unfortunately, the shrimp are not always of good quality; sometimes they just leak dye and are only recommended to be eaten in the trash. In any case, pizza with low quality shrimp is not pizza at all.

Shrimp can be used to prepare a huge number of dishes, good appetizers, pasta or risotto, also a famous dish by Giacomo Girolamo Casanova - an appetizer made from zucchini and shrimp, which is considered an aphrodisiac.

Apart from everything else, the Italians would not have been such good cooks if they had not come up with a recipe - shrimp pizza. It is worth remembering pizza with seafood Pizza ai frutti di mare, pizza with mussels Pizza con le cozze - amazing combinations of ingredients common to pizza and seafood.

Ingredients for shrimp pizza

• Pizza dough 400 g
• Shrimp (medium) 15 pcs
• Tomato 1 piece
• Young basil, arugula to taste
• Olive oil 3 tbsp. l.
• Mozzarella 200 g
• Parmesan 50 g

How to make shrimp pizza

1. Pizza with shrimp should have a soft and fairly thick dough. Prepare the dough. The recipe for yeast pizza dough that we use at home is simple and straightforward. Read: “Pizza Dough.”
2. After the dough has risen, knead it and stretch it into a flat cake 5-7 mm wide. Place the dough on the pan, lightly greasing it with olive oil first. Be sure to prick the dough with a fork in several places. In order for the dough to rise further and become fluffy, you need to cover the dough on the pan with a napkin and let it rise - from 15 minutes.
3. The pizza will be without tomato sauce, so I think that such a pizza can completely be considered “snow-white”. As a sauce to spread on the dough, we will use a sauce similar to pesto sauce, but the most economical option.

With cheese

Pizza with shrimp and cheese is unfortunately rarely prepared, although it is very tasty and loved by everyone who has tried it.

We prepare the dough using the usual manual method, but you can also use a bread machine. It needs to be created in a round shape, about 30 cm thinner, but you can also create a rectangular one.

Required set of goods:

• half a kilogram of unpeeled frozen shrimp;
• two hundred grams of cheese (certainly hard)
• one small onion;
• one tomato;
• a jar of olives stuffed with anchovies or lemon;
• three cloves of garlic;
• a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice (in this recipe you can replace it with white wine vinegar);
• ground pepper;
• mayonnaise;
• salt.

For this recipe, medium boiled frozen shrimp are suitable, preferably unpeeled ones. You can also buy ready-made peeled ones, but the taste will not be the same.

Now you need to cover it with film for about fifteen minutes. The workpiece must fit.
