How to Make Kid-Friendly Seafood Pizza

Prepare Perfect Crust Base

Create an ideal foundation with garlic-infused crust.

Build Flavor Foundation

Layer sauce and cheese for kid-approved taste base.

Create Seafood Blend

Combine mild seafood with familiar ingredients and seasonings.

Master the Perfect Bake

Achieve golden crust and melty cheese without overcooking delicate seafood.

Baking Tips

Make sure all seafood is thoroughly cooked before adding to the pizza to ensure food safety.

For picky eaters, try chopping the seafood into smaller pieces so it blends more easily with the cheese.

Let kids help with assembly by creating their own section of the pizza with their preferred toppings.

For a fun presentation, arrange seafood toppings in a face or sea creature shape.

If introducing seafood for the first time, start with just one type (like mild shrimp) before adding others.

Ingredients

Custard Cream

1 pre-made pizza dough (16 oz) or homemade dough

3/4 cup pizza sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup small cooked shrimp, deveined and tails removed

1/2 cup canned crab meat, drained well

1/2 cup mild white fish (like cod or tilapia), cooked and flaked

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness (about 12-14 inches in diameter).

Transfer the dough to a pizza pan, baking sheet, or pizza peel if using a stone.

In a small bowl, mix olive oil with minced garlic and brush this mixture over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges for the crust.

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the garlic oil layer.

Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese and all of the cheddar cheese over the sauce.

In a medium bowl, gently toss together the shrimp, crab meat, flaked fish, cherry tomatoes, and corn with lemon juice, dried oregano, dried basil, and optional salt.

Arrange the seafood mixture evenly over the cheese layer.

Top with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before cutting into slices.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
