• Mozzarella cheese: Shredded pizza cheese to top your pizza.
• Shrimp: Most grocery stores have shrimp readily available in the seafood area.
• Calamari rings: Usually available at your grocer's seafood area or frozen section.
• Butter: Unsalted is best so you can control how much salt is added to the pizza.
• Salt: Brings out flavors of the food.
• Garlic: A staple in Mediterranean cooking; sauté it with your seafood.
• Onion: I used red onions, but you could use a sweet white onion as well.
• Bell peppers: Use any color bell pepper to add additional flavor to your pizza.
• Kalamata olives: Are large dark brown olives with seeds. Be sure to take the pit out and cut in half before using.
• Parsley or fresh basil: Optional topping to garnish pizza.

🥄 Instructions

• Scatter seafood mixture, bell pepper slices and olive halves placed cut side down. Bake on a pizza stone or baking sheet in a preheated oven according to your crust instructions.

• This recipe works great for leftover seafood dinner.
• Use any bell pepper color(s) you like.
