Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, making sure to create a slightly thicker edge for the crust.
- Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone, ensuring it is well-positioned.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the cleaned shrimp, scallops, mussels, and clams to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the mussels and clams have opened. Discard any that do not open.
- Season the seafood mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Evenly distribute the cooked seafood over the pizza dough, ensuring an even coverage.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are heated through.
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and basil for a burst of color and flavor.
- Slice and serve hot, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking for a bit of heat.
- You can customize this pizza by including other seafood options like squid or octopus, or by adding a drizzle of lemon juice right before serving for freshness.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the pizza dough with a gluten-free crust.
