Shrimp and Scallop Margarita Pizza


If you're a seafood lover this shrimp and scallop margarita pizza is fabulous!

                

 Reminds me of a garlic pizza with seafood on it in flavor. The tomatoes accent the flavors with richness. Then with garlic shrimp and scallop and basil perfection!  

                                       





Shrimp with tails on for presentation or off if you don't care!
1 pizza shell store bought  or homemade
Bay or sea scallops small

fresh bay leaf
dried oregano to taste
fresh garlic chopped fine.

Rise dough to around 1/2 thick, prebake... bake for 10 minutes 430 degree hot oven.

Grill, broil or pan fry the shrimp and scallops Add around 1 tablespoon each in a small bowl: melted butter, white wine, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook for 2 minutes on each side set aside to drain or until the shrimp turns pink in color. 


On top of the pizza dough, place slices of mozzarella,  then add  thinly sliced tomatoes, top with fresh garlic, spices, adding salt, pepper to taste and grating cheese.
