Shrimp and Scallop Pizza is a simply lovely variation of a classic pizza base. Using seafood is not new but shrimp and scallops adds a touch of style. Ideally I use sea scallops as they are far larger but if not available then bay scallops will do the job. The seafood mixed with the Mozzarella and goats cheese give the perfect balance. I often include a finely sliced green and red bell pepper for an additional texture and bit of crunch. I often serve this with a Cashew Salad and depending on the number of people eating an Acapulco Chicken Pizza.
Shrimp and Scallop Pizza
This is a lovely variation on the usual pizza. Instead of using the usual abundance of meats it uses seafood.
