I’m almost on vacation. Tying up loose ends with clients, tidying up the house, putting things in order….making sure all my ducks are in a row. One of my tasks was to cull the remaining basil in my garden. By the time I’m back from holidays the basil will have bloomed, gone yellow and frankly it will be not that desirable.
I made some pesto and froze some basil, as per Kalyn’s valuable method (thank you). Everyone should have a pesto pasta or pesto something at least once during the summer. I had it a few times and this time I was inspired by this rendition of seafood pizza at Canary Girl. I didn’t follow Nikki’s recipe verbatim but it did launch me into making this pizza.
I used a medium-sized flatbread this time (no time for pizza dough today) and I assembled my seafood pizza as such:
Pour some pomodoro sauce onto your flatbread (or pita). Sprinkle some salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried oregano. Dot your pizza with spoonsfuls of basil pesto and then top with your grated mozarella.
Top with shrimp (or you could try mussels, clams, oyster meat), slices of red onion and some chilli flakes.
Throw your pizza into a preheated oven for 5-10 minutes or until your pizza is golden on top.
This sounds delicious! Looks incredibly fresh and flavourful. I agree that pesto is an essential summer dish and I’m looking forward to making plenty of it when the weather gets a little warmer here.
Have a wonderful time on mainland Greece. Sip lots of wine, eat great food and blog about it!!!!!Great piza by the way!!!
Sounds really good, and reminds me that I need to be trimming my own basil way back so I can get one or two more crops this summer!
mmm…seafood pizza … yummy and it sure looks delicious.
That looks wonderful! I think seafood pizza is my favourite and that one looks loaded!
