Have you ever thought about which dishes of the most invented by mankind are the oldest? By the way, pizza also belongs to such dishes! Serving the chunks of bread came up with the ancient Romans.
The pizza is universal, it can be served as an appetizer or as a main course. Homemade pizza is just a jumble! After all, the filling can be very different, so that all participants in the feast could like.
One of the most interesting options is shrimp pizza . The recipe for this pizza came from the Mediterranean. After all, pizza itself comes from Italy, where seafood is used in cooking very often.
If you cook pizza "from and to", without ready-made components purchased in advance, it will be useful to recall how to make pizza dough: mix 350 g of flour with 50 ml of olive oil, dilute with a glass of water, add half a tablespoon of salt and sugar and, of course, yeast. The dough should settle in a warm place (usually enough hours for it to rise). By the way, spices can also be mixed in the dough.
The basis for pizza is always greased with tomato sauce, and, finally, the most interesting thing is the pizza topping!
Here you can also give free rein to creativity, here are the three easiest ways to cook a wonderful dish called shrimp pizza:
Option 1
For the filling, take 20 boiled and peeled shrimp, 200 g of hard cheese (for example, "Mazzarella"), 50 g of capers. Anchovies or mussels are also ideal here, because seafood can be perfectly combined.
Pizza with shrimp can be decorated with dill, and if you do not stop there, you can add a traditional Italian spice - basil. Salt, by the way, can also be used to preserve all the charm of Mediterranean cuisine: buy sea salt for your pizza!
Option 2
Take 100 g of sun-dried tomatoes, 100 g of cheese, 250 g of shrimp, finely chopped
green onions and slice pineapple. In this embodiment, it is recommended to use not a hard cheese, as usual in pizza, but a soft "Mascarpone". However, keep in mind that the combination of shrimp with soft cheese itself is quite fresh, so we recommend using hot tomato sauce and a lot of black pepper. Pizza with shrimp and pineapple will surprise you with its unusual taste, but it will not disappoint!
Option 3
Take 200 g of shrimp, 1 red chili pepper (it should be peeled and chopped), finely chopped green onions (so that the onion note does not add dissonance, you don’t need a lot of onions for this option, three feathers are enough for a big pizza), half peeled and chopped cucumber, 1 lime and 75 grams of rocket salad.
We cook in this order: sprinkle the base for pizza with olive oil and quickly bake until crisp, meanwhile, mix the shrimp with vegetables and lime zest, put the filling on the base and put the salad on top.
General recommendations for making pizza:
- the oven must be heated to a temperature of 200-250 degrees;
- bake pizza for 15-20 minutes;
Shrimp pizza ready!
Shrimp pizza is usually served on a large wooden dish, pre-sliced. Please note that if the pizza is very hot, then the knife will pull the melted cheese along with it. To make sliced pizza pieces beautiful and neat, get a special knife with a round blade.
If you serve pizza as a main course, then chicken wings, spicy chips or stuffed peppers can become a side dish.
Of the drinks, it is best to serve fruit juice (any) with pizza , iced iced tea , dark or light beer (by the way, one of the rare cases when beer can be warm is the case when you serve cold pizza). Of course, the most democratic options are acceptable - so, it’s quite possible to drink pizza with sparkling or plain water.
