If you want to spice things up, you can add more sauce after the cooked pizza. I also liked how the dough was pre-cooked before putting the toppings.
This makes the pizza crust really crunchy and keeps the slices together so you can get all the flavors together in one bite.
2. Shrimp And Crab Cast Iron Pizza
This combination of shrimp and crab on a pizza is the perfect seafood treat for the family. The crust is par-baked so it can hold the heavy white sauce.
With fresh lemon juice, cajun seasoning, and Italian seasoning, the sauce is full of flavor and helps bring the meats’ flavors together.
The shrimp and crab are perfect together as they have this amazing umami flavor and with every bite, you get to taste those flavors that are coated by the thick cream sauce.
Cooking the pizza in a cast-iron skillet also helps the crust get that crispy bottom and a fluffy interior.

This is a really good guide where you get to see from the start how to shape your dough and bake the pizza before garnishing and serving the pizza itself.
With the help of Ooni Koda 16, this pizza gets crispy and is evenly cooked on all sides. The crab meat and the combination of garlic cloves as a garnish are perfect.
The pizza is savory and unique. When I say unique, I mean it as the recipe also puts a whole soft-shelled crab in the middle along with chilis that give the pizza a little kick.

7. Crab Pizza With Chef Louie Dimarhos
This is perhaps one of my favorite crab pizza recipes because of how amazing the crab meat tastes when you bite into the pizza slices.
The unique thing about this pizza recipe is that the crab is mixed with dry mustard, Old Bay seasoning, cream cheese, and other spices instead of placing the crab meat on top of the other ingredients.
The mixture is also folded with a spatula so that the crab meat does not break down. This preserves the texture of the crab so it does not just mix with the other ingredients.
With every bite, you can taste the crab meat that is coated with amazing seasonings and I am sure that you will love making this easy recipe at home.

With the King crab legs pre-cooked, you can easily peel off the shell. This pizza recipe has all the flavors from the sea to make your pizza fresh and fulfilling.
