SOUTHWESTERN X-TRA THIN CRUST SEAFOOD PIZZA



Southwestern X-tra Thin Crust Seafood Pizza image

I made this up for our weekly Photo Club competition & IMHO it is very good - hope you think so too. Use any mix of seafood that you like, make it hotter, more garlic etc etc - that's what a pizza is all about. This one suits my taste buds. To bake it I used the type of pizza pan that has holes in the bottom to allow heat in to crisp the bottom. Make up ahead and keep in the fridge for several hours then pop it in the oven 20-25 minutes before serving..
