All the feels with this Shrimp Po’ Boy Pizza. Holy is this so good. Like Oh-emmmm this is delicious. It is like, no one ingredient is a standout, instead they all work together so perfectly.
Oh AND I complained in my last two posts about my recent kitchen fails here and here, …well got my mojo back with this recipe. Figures it would take a pizza to snap me out of my funk.
But pizza rocks like that, so I’m kinda not surprised. I may have teared up just eating it. Or pee’d a little. One or the other. ?
So what we have going on here in this delicious pizzzah is first the dough, of course. In the recipe, I have a link to my dough if you need one, or a lot of grocery stores sell fresh pizza dough in the bakery section anymore.
I may – just maybe – have cut that corner and bought dough for these photos. Maybe. ?
Then we have some pizza sauce.
I have a link to my homemade recipe below too, which I did use here, because seriously, homemade is soo much better.
Then a couple easy veggies – bell pepper, tomato, mushrooms – pizza quintessentials – then shrimp and cheese.
If you have followed my site for any length of time, then you already know that I eat seafood like most women eat chocolate. Like, most days.
You may also know that in my rabid pizza addiction I have put shrimp on pizza, such as Four Cheese Shrimp Scampi Pizza and Cajun Pizza with Andouille and Shrimp.
Shrimp is excellent on pizza. So when the opportunity came up to work with SeaPak® and I started thinkingggg …fried shrimp, where do I love fried shrimp?
Hubs and I went out for lunch at a local seafood restaurant and I had a Po’ Boy.
Neurons fired and BAM – Shrimp Po’ Boy Pizza. Clearly.
..Now, you may not think to look for seafood at Walmart – I generally don’t either, but am I going to peel, devein, bread, and fry shrimp for a pizza topping?
GAH of course not. I am going to buy that shrimp ?.
No thawing needed, just throw them on with the other toppings and go.
Lastly, but not leastly, we have a creamy Cajun Remoulade. This recipe is an adaptation of my own from my Cajun Salmon Sliders.
Aside from a couple minor tweaks like dialing down the heat a touch, all I really did otherwise was just throw it all in the food processor this time and whirl.
The cool Remoulade, with its little kick, on the cheesy crunchy pizza is so over the top, I can’t even.
So that is it kids. A new Shrimp Po’ Boy Pizza – approachable, impressive, delicious. So delicious.
If you love pizza and you love seafood (like I do!) then definitely make this recipe and come out the Rockstar.
This recipe uses my Sam Adams Pizza Dough made with beer and my Homemade Pizza Sauce with wine and garlic.
