Pizza Frutti di Mare

Step 1

Set the oven to 500°F and wait for the indicator light or beep, about 10 minutes, so the oven reaches full heat.

Step 2

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels by placing each one on the towel and gently pressing until moisture is gone.

Step 3

Stretch the pizza dough by pulling it gently with both hands until it covers the bottom of a 14-inch round pizza pan or a rectangular sheet pan.

Step 4

Brush the dough generously with olive oil on all surfaces, then sprinkle salt and pepper evenly across the top and edges.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated 500°F oven for 8 minutes, until the edges are pale gold and the surface looks slightly puffed.

Step 6

Remove the pan from the oven, scatter the minced garlic over the crust, then arrange the shrimp and mussels in a single layer across the surface.

Step 7

Pour the white wine evenly over the shellfish so it pools slightly on the crust, distributing it across the entire pizza.

Step 8

Return the pizza to the 500°F oven and bake for 7 minutes, until the shrimp turn opaque pink and the mussels open (discard any that don't open).

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and scatter the fresh parsley over the top in a light, even layer.

Step 10

Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately while the crust is crispy and the seafood is still hot.
