👨‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a pizza tray or baking stone with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Make the Garlic Sauce

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until smooth, then add the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer until slightly thickened.

3️⃣ Season the Seafood

In a bowl, toss the shrimp and calamari with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

4️⃣ Assemble the Pizza

Roll out the pizza dough and place it on the prepared tray. Spread an even layer of the garlic sauce over the base. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then arrange the shrimp and calamari evenly on top. Finish with grated Parmesan.

5️⃣ Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is bubbling, and the seafood is fully cooked.

6️⃣ Garnish & Serve

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Slice and serve immediately while hot.
