Seafood pizza is really flavorful and if you are a fan of delicious homemade pizza and you also love fish and seafood, why not combine both to make a seafood pizza recipe? There are lots of types of fish and seafood you can use to make your dream pizza, including shrimp, anchovies, tuna, mussels, squid, and crab.
You might like to stick to one or two seafood toppings or you might want to mix and match. If you want to use only one kind of seafood, perhaps shrimp, or tuna, you can use other pizza toppings to complement the taste, such as cheese, pineapple, bell peppers, fresh herbs, and garlic.
Pizza
Seafood does not have a long cooking time and the easiest way to make a seafood pizza is to cook the fish first, then arrange it on the pizza and warm the pizza through. If you are using a readymade pizza crust, you will only need to bake the pizza until the toppings are hot anyway. Finely chopped vegetables will cook quickly and if you are using canned fish like crab or tuna, it only needs to warm through.
