Shrimp Cocktail Pizza

1: Prepare your pizza dough ahead of time.

Our guide to making the perfect Classic Pizza Dough covers everything you need to know.

2: For the sauce for this pizza, we recommend preparing our easy Ultimate Pizza Sauce.

With a hint of garlic, salt and basil, it's the ideal pizza sauce that will help to bring out the flavour in the other ingredients used here.

3: Once your dough and sauce are ready, fire up your Ooni pizza oven.

Aim for 500˚C (950˚F) on the stone baking board inside. You can check the temperature inside your oven quickly and easily using the Ooni Infrared Thermometer.

4: Start by prepping the seafood sauce.

In a bowl, mix together the seafood sauce ingredients until well combined. Refrigerate until the pizza is ready.

5: Next, marinate and grill the prawns.

Place your Grizzler in your oven to warm up. In the meantime, combine the lemon juice, salt, olive oil and prawns together in a bowl, and toss well to coat the prawns. Add the marinated prawns to the hot Grizzler and grill in the oven until just cooked through – it’s important not to overcook the prawns at this point so that they don’t become tough and chewy once cooked on top of the pizza. Set the prawns aside.

6: Now, prepare your pizza.

Using a small amount of flour, dust your Ooni pizza peel. Stretch the pizza dough ball out to 12”/16” and lay it out on your pizza peel. Using a large spoon or ladle, spread the sauce evenly across the pizza dough base. Top with the mozzarella, lettuce and prawns.

7: Slide the pizza off the peel and into your Ooni pizza oven, making sure to rotate the pizza regularly.

8: Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven.

Dollop the seafood sauce on each of the prawns, finish with the avocado slices and serve.
