Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz scallops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the florets from the head of cauliflower and pulse in a food processor until it achieves a rice-like consistency.
Microwave the processed cauliflower rice for 5 minutes on high until softened.
Once cooled, place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure a crisp crust.
In a large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, eggs, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well until a dough forms and then spread it onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a circle pressing flat and evenly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the crust is baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and scallops, cooking until they are just opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and remove from heat.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread marinara sauce evenly over the top.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Arrange the cooked shrimp and scallops evenly on top of the pizza.
Place the pizza back in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with lemon zest and fresh basil leaves before serving.
