2 Pizzas...

Post by Vlap »

A classic Margheritta

Image

Just playing here. Sauce is a paste of garlic, dried herbs, salt and oil. Shrimp are marinated in pesto. Dough is smeared with sauce and dotted with pesto. Shrimp on top then mozzarella.
Topped the finished pizza with Mache tossed with oil, lemon and salt.

Mark, That stone works wonderfully.

The sauce was nothing difficult at all. Some garlic cloves, Salt, Dried Italian Herbs, and oil. Pureed till it was a smooth loose paste. Adjust the garlic to your taste. Very strong uncooked but after sitting in a 500 degree oven the garlic mellowed and was a fantastic compliment to the shrimp.
Image

You could do this in a mortar and pestle. Just keep crushing till the garlic is a paste. The salt would help break down the garlic.

Here is a shot of the pizza before the salad was added.
Image

Traveling a little further back in time... You can see the garlic paste covering the pizza with the pesto marinated shrimp on top.

The Margherita was happy in the hot oven.

Glad the stone worked out. How did the shrimp come out? I always put my shrimp on about half way through cooking so as not to overcook (rubberize) them.
Looks great! :D

Its similar to Arugula.

Mark, The shrimp were fine. It wasn't in there very long and I was more concerned about under cooking them.

The crust is good. Its the recipe I have posted here before. Let ferment overnight for best results.

Dave. I can use and have used Publix dough. Its good but not as good as I can make. I find it too tough and not workable. Aging it does not benefit it. If you do not have the time to make your own it is the best pre made dough out there.
