SPICY PRAWN PIZZA

Makes 2X20cm pizzas.

INGREDIENTS:

12 large shelled prawns
2 tablespoon lime juice and 3 tablespoon cooking oil-sprinkle on prawns

Combine the following ingredients to a paste:


2 garlic cloves, crushed
2.5cm piece fresh root ginger, finely chopped.
1/4 teaspoon powdered cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder


1 onion, finely chopped
400g can of chopped tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Basic Pizza Dough Mix (see previous post)
coarsely chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish

METHOD:

Heat the remaining oil and fry onion till brown. Add the spicy paste and fry for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, salt and remaining lime juice. Simmer for 5 minutes until thick.

Roll out the dough to 2 20cm circular pieces. Place on greased perforated pizza pans.Brush with cooking oil, spread with the tomato mixture and sprinkle with oil.

Bake the dough in a preheated oven at 240 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes. Arrange the prawns on top and bake for 4-5 minutes or until the prawns are heated through. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.

Unlike normal pizza, this is not a typical pizza as it  does not use any cheese. The next prawn pizza recipe will feature the normal cheesy pizza.
