Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12-inch size) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Fontina cheese, shredded
- 0.5 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 pieces Clams or mussels, cleaned
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat while you prepare the pizza.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place it on a parchment-lined pizza peel or baking sheet.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and stir well. Let it simmer gently for 2 minutes, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for another minute until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Brush the edges of the pizza dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the garlic cream sauce evenly over the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and fontina cheeses evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the shrimp and clams (or mussels) evenly across the pizza. If using clams or mussels, make sure they’re fresh and tightly closed before placing them on the pizza.
Season the pizza with salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven (onto the pizza stone if using) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is bubbly, and the shellfish are cooked through (shrimp should be opaque, and clams/mussels should open—discard any that do not open).
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your White Pizza with Shellfish immediately while it's hot!
