Shrimp and crab pizza for the "It Came From The Sea" Throwdown
 

Well, for those that didn't catch my thread last week about my pizza failure, here is a photo recap :tsk:

So this weekend was a chance at redemption. While pizza isn't always the healthiest, it is a great source of leftovers I will take to work during the week. I can literally get a thing of sauce and a ball of dough for $3 at Trader Joe's and that is really enough for at least two pizzas. From there it is just toppings and that doesn't have to break the wallet either.

First pie was a standard pizza with pepperoni, sausage, bacon, provel cheese and mozzarella. It came out pretty good.

So anyway, since I was making pies, I decided to make one up with a seafood twist. I went ahead and put some shrimp on the grill.

After they were done I sliced them up along with some crab meat. On the dough I spread a thin layer of alfredo sauce. Then on went the shrimp and crab.

The GF suggested to use a little cream cheese. To me, cream cheese is like bacon, it makes everything better. So, I spread out some dollops of cream cheese and then topped with mozzarella again. On to the cooker and off came this:

I topped it with some parmesan.

It was quite tasty.

The dough in the middle didn't quite get done so it went into the oven for a quick finishing since I had already shut down the pizza cooker.

As with anything there are some things that I will tweak in the future but this was really good. I was really happy with the results since I was just shooting from the hip.
