How to Make a Seafood Pizza

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Seafood pizza is really flavorful and if you are a fan of delicious homemade pizza and you also love fish and seafood, why not combine both to make a seafood pizza recipe? There are lots of types of fish and seafood you can use to make your dream pizza, including shrimp, anchovies, tuna, mussels, squid, and crab.


Seafood does not have a long cooking time and the easiest way to make a seafood pizza is to cook the fish first, then arrange it on the pizza and warm the pizza through. If you are using a readymade pizza crust, you will only need to bake the pizza until the toppings are hot anyway. Finely chopped vegetables will cook quickly and if you are using canned fish like crab or tuna, it only needs to warm through.

Recipe for Easy Seafood Pizza

This delicious recipe combines shrimp, crab, and tuna with olives, pineapple, mushrooms and more for a mouthwatering pizza recipe. This is such an easy pizza to make and the fact that you are using a readymade pizza crust and ingredients, which do not have to be cooked before you bake the pizza means that it should only take about twenty minutes to make from start to finish.

Feel free to modify the ingredients. You might like to add onion, fresh herbs, tomatoes or red bell pepper to this pizza to make it more fragrant, colorful, and delicious. The garlic oil makes a wonderful sauce.

Sometimes tomato pizza sauces can be very strong but it is nice to keep this one simple so the delicious fish and seafood taste shines through. This delicious pizza serves four to six people.

What you will need:

* 12 inch readymade pizza crust
* 4 oz sliced black olives
* 1/2 cup crushed pineapple
* 6 sliced button mushrooms
* 1 cup grated cheddar
* 1 cup grated mozzarella
* 3/4 cup flaked, canned crab meat
* 1/2 cup flaked, canned tuna
* 1/4 cup canned shrimp
* 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
* 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
* 2 minced cloves garlic

How to make it:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Stir together the garlic and olive oil. If you have a food processor, you can puree the peeled garlic cloves and oil in it instead. Spread the garlic oil evenly over the pizza crust.

Arrange the olives, pineapple, mushrooms, crab, tuna, shrimp, and green bell pepper on the pizza and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Bake on a pizza stone or greased pizza pan for about twelve minutes or until the cheese is bubbly. Serve hot.

Things You Need To Know About Fast Food and Fat Food

Friday, May 8th, 2009

There are two sides of the same coin. You may have heard arguments on both sides regarding healthy foods and fast foods. You may have asked yourself one time or another, are all fast food fat foods? Can you binge on fast food without worrying about your health? How can you eat fast food and still stay healthy? Most of the food offered by fast food restaurants are deep-fried or heated up in the microwave. These processes of food preparation take minimum time unlike home cooked meals. As a result, most fast food products have high calories and are practically swimming in trans-fat.

If you take all of these into consideration, then yes, fast food is fat food. Health experts have grounds why they are against eating fast food products. On the other hand, it does not mean that you have to forego fast food altogether to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Fast food restaurants were a hit because they serve food in minimum time, in good taste, and in lesser price. So how are you going to make the two ends meet?

When health issues were raised, fast food restaurants come up with possible solutions to make their menu appealing to health buffs. They added salads, fresh fruit, and white meat to widen the selection of their consumers. Also, nutritional facts are made available so that people would have an idea how many calories are in their orders. These restaurants are doing their part but why is it that they are still being blamed?

You should know when to stop eating fast food, if you want to live a long life, you. Moderation is the key. You cannot have burgers and fries all the time. If you can’t stay away from fast food, check out the other side of the menu. Instead of a Big Mac, why don’t you order a regular burger? If a regular burger is not good enough for you, just avoid add-ons like cheese, bacon, or mayonnaise sauce.

Other add-ons can be tasty without the fat like onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mustard. Skip additional toppings in your pizza. Even though a slice of chocolate cake makes your mouth water, better order a low-fat yogurt or ice cream for dessert. Lastly, forget about the upsize promo. It will save you from calories and save a few pennies too.
