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.
.
Cream Cheesy goodness!
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.
