Seafood Pizza




PIZZA NIGHT!!!!

Pizza night is our favorite night and has always been a weekend tradition for us, Papa Johns, popcorn, cookies, and movies all night!  After we started our fitness journey, we obviously wanted to keep the tradition going which allowed us to get creative with pizza night and instead of the usual takeout with white carbs, bad fats, processed meats, and cheeses, we have been making our own!  It also gets the kids excited and in on the fun of actually making their own pizza!  They really enjoy it more than waiting for delivery, SURPRISE!! And guys it couldn't be easier to make your pizza right at home with fresh and yummy ingredients, and it taste better!!

So I really wanted a Red Lobster, lobster style pizza so I completely made up this recipe and there are no exact measurements, LOL!! But you can pretty much eyeball your ingredients and use a little or as much as you would like, and as with any pizza, the recipe for this can be adjusted depending on what YOU like! :)

Ingredients

1 large wheat flat bread pizza (store bought)
butter
garlic
shrimp
crab meat
red onion
cherry tomatoes
mushrooms
mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
basil

Directions

First I cooked the shrimp and crab meat together in a pan with olive oil and seasoned with onion powder, garlic powder, and Himalayan salt.  I melted the butter and garlic in a bowl in the microwave (again no exact measurements, I just guesstimated how much based on what WE like), drizzleed the butter over the flat bread pizza, then I topped the pizza with mozzarella cheese, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, and basil.  Baked it for about 15 minutes at 375 F, until the cheese started to melt, and the veggies are starting to cook.  Then I took it out the oven, topped the pizza with the shrimp and crab meat, sprinkled Parmesan cheese and a little more mozzarella cheese over top, and put it back in the oven for about 5 to 7 more minutes.  Just be sure to watch the pizza closely.  Once the pizza is done, I took it out of the oven, and drizzled it with a little more of the butter and garlic mixture I made in the beginning, reminding me of Papa Johns famous garlic butter sauce that I LOVE, just without the added guilt! ;)  We also had it with a side of buffalo cauliflower, one of our favorite sides to have with pizza!

It was SO good yall, we made it two nights in a row! LOL!!  Friday and Saturday were both pizza nights with no complaints!  I hope you guys enjoy the pizza and as always, let me know if you try it! You won't be disappointed!! ;)
