Here’s to another great #SeafoodSunday, Seafoodies!
We’re just going to come out and say it: Pizza night is the best night of the week, hands down! A fun, hold-in-your-hand meal that can be customized to please all members of your household—what’s not to love? And when you go the DIY route and add some seafood, you can craft crave-worthy pies that are just as good for you as they are tasty to eat. Today we’re sharing our all-time fave seafood pizza recipes. If you’re looking for healthier options for making pizza at home, your search is over!
And we think seafood is the ultimate lean protein topping! It’s flavorful and satisfying, pairs well with veggies (and despite what you may have heard, it’s just fab with cheese) and adds heart-healthy nutrients to every slice. Swapping some seafood in for higher fat toppings is one of the easiest (and most delicious) ways we know to get in our recommended two to three servings of seafood per week.
Pizza’s a wonderful way to introduce kids to seafood, too. You’re simply adding a new ingredient to a dish your little Seafoodies already love. And they can help in the kitchen, selecting and placing toppings to make the pie their own. Win-win all around!
Best of all, homemade pizza doesn’t need to be a heavy lift when you use some culinary shortcuts. Take advantage of the high-quality grocery options such as naan bread or pre-made pizza dough to cut prep time, and you’ll be enjoying a bubbling hot ‘za in no time flat!
Red sauce, white sauce or no sauce? Our recipes run the gamut. Think: sautéed shrimp with pesto and fresh basil, savory sardines with olives and tomato, tender clams with braised kale. There’s even a low-carb, cauliflower-crusted pie loaded with an ocean full of fish and shellfish, plus some shrimp-topped mini pies that can serve as a hearty app or light meal. We think you’ll agree that when it comes to a seafood pizza, the number of possible combinations is infinite!
Enjoy, Seafoodies. We hope these recipes inspire you to unleash some creativity in your kitchen!
With juicy shrimp, strips of roasted red pepper and two tempting cheeses, this delicious recipe keeps prep time to a minimum by using store-bought pesto and naan bread.
A surprisingly quick option for when you’re short on time, this tomato-ey pie is baked with sardines, olives and aromatic veggies, then topped with freshly dressed greens just before serving.
Sheet-Pan Pizza with Fish, Shrimp and Scallops
Low-carb pizza bliss! That’s what you get when you top a cauliflower-cheddar crust with some mozzarella and succulent, spice-rubbed seafood.
White Clam and Kale Seafood Pizza
Chewy, cheesy and a little bit smoky, this clam-and-greens pizza owes its complex flavor to sautéed garlic and shallot, white wine and a surprise splash of lemon.
Shrimp marinated in paprika and turmeric make for a pizza like no other! White sauce adds a creamy note while pickled jalapeños bring on the heat.
