Alouette Scampi Pizza Recipes

SHRIMP SCAMPI PIZZA

Steps:

• Set an inverted baking sheet on a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Invert another baking sheet and place a piece of parchment on top and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and reduce until the alcohol smell is no longer present and the sauce is golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Dust the parchment paper on top of the inverted baking sheet with flour. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out and stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle then place it on the paper. Scatter the shrimp evenly over the dough leaving a 1/2 inch border all around. Spoon the butter sauce over the shrimp, and use a pastry brush to spread the sauce to the edges. Finish by sprinkling the mozzarella cheese over the top, staying within the border.
• Place the sheet pan with the pizza on top of the preheated inverted baking sheet and bake until the dough is crisp and the shrimp are cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Sprinkle the pizza with the parsley and freshly grated Parmesan, slice into wedges and serve immediately.

SHRIMP SCAMPI PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees with pizza stone on bottom rack.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and shallots until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in white wine, heavy cream, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until about 2-3 tablespoons of liquid remain. Stir in shrimp and cook until just starting to look pink, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Roll or stretch out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and place on a cornmeal dusted pizza peel. Top with shrimp, 5-6 dollops of ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, dried thyme and season with salt and pepper. Transfer pizza preheated pizza stone and bake until cheese is bubbling and crust is browned and crisp.
• Top with chives and tomatoes and cut into wedges to serve.

BENGAL TIGER PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough: Mix the flour, yeast, salt and 2 cups of body temperature water until well combined, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the Olive Oil and roll it into the dough. Place the dough in a pot, cover loosely with plastic and refrigerate for 8 hours.
• Remove the dough from the pot and roll into 18-ounce balls, place on a tray and let rise 6 to 8 more hours.
• For the green sauce: Blend the basil, cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender, slowly adding enough Olive Oil so the consistency becomes slightly thinner than peanut butter.
• For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 550 degrees F. Roll and toss 1 ball of dough until it is 18-to-20 inches around. Reserve the remaining dough for another use or for other pizzas.
• Place the round on a pizza pan and cover with the green sauce; keep any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Top with a blend of mozzarella and provolone pizza cheese. Add the tandoori chicken, real crabmeat and hearts of palm. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with the fresh cilantro.
