published by JACVATE on Jan 12, 2009

I developed this recipe as an entry to a national company’s nation wide pizza contest. The judge for the entries was a world renowned chef. I received the first prize for this entry. Hope that you enjoy it as much as all of our friends.

Ingredients

1 – Boboli Pizza Crust or Italian Flatbread

1 – Large Vidalia or other sweet onion diced

1 – Large ripe tomato – peeled, seeded, diced and drained

¾ – Cup of fresh mushrooms – sliced thin ( you may also use drained canned mushrooms sliced)

1 – Cup of Sea Scallops diced

1 – Cup of small shrimp cleaned and shelled

1- Cup of Lump crabmeat ( I sometimes use claw meat as I believe it is more flavorful)

1 – 6oz. Lobster tail diced or chopped

½ – Cup of Virgin olive oil

1 – Tablespoon of Old Bay Seafood Seasoning

1 – Tablespoon of crushed dried Tarragon

2 – Teaspoons of Italian seasoning (blend of basil, thyme, oregano, sage parsley)

1 – Cup of Monterey Jack cheese – shredded

Method

1. Preheat pizza stone to 450 degrees

2. Saute ½ of the olive oil with Italian seasoning and the onion cook until the onion is soft and transparent.

3. Add Sea scallops and shrimp and Lobster, heat thoroughly until the scallops and Lobster are

just done are opaque in color. (Don’t cook too long or they will get tough)

4. Mix remaining olive oil with crushed tarragon and Old Bay Seafood Seasoning with a whisk and then rub

pizza shell thoroughly with the mixture.

5. Spread the Lobster, scallop and shrimp mixture over the entire pizza crust that has been coated with the

olive oil and tarragon and old bay rub.

6. Now sprinkle the crabmeat over the top of the pizza

7. Now sprinkle the pizza with the mushrooms and the diced tomatoes

8. Now top the pizza with the mixture of Monterey jack and marbled cheddar cheese

9. Bake the pizza on the stone @450 degrees for 8- 10 minutes or until the cheese bubbles.

I hope you and your family enjoys this dish.
