Casino Popcorn Shrimp Pizza Recipes

PIZZA POPCORN

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the butter, tomatoes and garlic until it forms a smooth paste. Heat a small saute pan over medium heat and add the butter mixture. Heat the butter until melted down and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Keep warm.
• Heat a large saucepan over high heat. Once hot, add the popcorn kernels and oil, and shake the pan to coat the kernels in the oil. Cover and continue to cook over high heat until the kernels begin to pop. Shake the pan once again and reduce the heat to medium-high. Continue to cook until the popping slows dramatically, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour the popped popcorn into a large bowl. While still warm, add the flavored butter, cheese, oregano and salt. Toss to coat, and then serve.

SHRIMP PIZZA

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: Whisk together the vinegar, Dijon, garlic, shallots, thyme and lemon juice in a bowl. Pour in the oil slowly, whisking until emulsified. Reserve.
• For the garlic confit: Heat olive oil in a saucepan, then pour over garlic in a bowl and allow to cool. Reserve.
• For the pizza: Preheat the oven with a pizza stone in it to 500 degrees F.
• Split shrimp in half lengthwise, then coat with a little olive oil and fresh oregano and set aside.
• Place dough on a work surface. Spread escarole over the dough, then add Manchego and mozzarella. Place shrimp on the pie, leaving room so that they will not be overcrowded. Transfer the pizza to a peel, then transfer to the pizza stone.
• Bake until the pizza and shrimp look cooked, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Garnish pizza with capers, 1 tablespoon garlic confit, 2 ounces vinaigrette, Pecorino, crushed red pepper and sea salt. Slice and serve.
