CRAB RANGOON PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat; fry wonton strips until crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spread pizza dough onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until slightly brown, about 7 minutes.
• Mix cream cheese, 1/4 cup green onions, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, and crab together in a bowl; spread onto the pizza crust. Top with mozzarella cheese, remaining Parmesan cheese, fried wonton strips, and remaining green onions.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and melted, about 8 minutes. Drizzle sweet chile sauce over top.

"THE SOFTIE" SOFT-SHELL CRAB PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan over medium heat; add 1/4 cup olive oil. Place the leeks in the pan and cook slowly, stirring to prevent browning, until soft and wilted, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, bring the remaining 1 1/4 cups olive oil to a simmer in a small saucepot; add the garlic. Reduce heat to low and cook until garlic is soft but still white, an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to its highest temperature with a pizza stone inside; at least 450 degrees F.
• Once the dough is at room temperature, it should be soft and pliable and shouldn't shrink back when you press it. Flatten a ball into a disc. (It is okay if the flattened disc isn't perfectly round at this point.) Place disc on a well-floured work surface and stretch the dough by hand into an 8- to 9-inch round that is 1/4-inch-thick, not pressing out the air bubbles. Place on a pizza peel or dry cutting board layered with a sprinkle of semolina flour.
• To assemble the pizza, spread the garlic oil evenly over the dough with a 1-ounce ladle. Add 3/4 cup leeks over the garlic oil and spread evenly. Place a soft-shell crab in the center of the pizza. Transfer the pizza to the oven using a smooth, quick motion to slide the pizza from the peel or cutting board to the stone. Bake until crust is browned evenly, crab is crispy and juices are bubbling, 9 to 16 minutes. Remove from the stone with a pizza peel. Cut into slices and garnish with a sprinkle of seafood seasoning, fresh shaved Parmesan and parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 1 more pizza. Enjoy.

TORTILLA CRAB PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F for Pyrex, or 450F for a metal pizza pan.
• Spread olive oil on pizza pan (I use Pyrex!) to prevent the tortilla from sticking to the pan.
• Place flour tortilla onto pizza pan and spread on cream cheese.
• Top with imitation crab meat and onion.
• Lightly sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
• Top with swiss and cheddar cheeses.
• Top cheeses with the snipped basil.
• Bake at 425F (Pyrex) or at 450F (metal) for 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven and immediately slide pizza onto a wire rack so the crust doesn't sweat!
• Cool for 10-15 minutes, slide the pizza back onto the pizza pan and cut into 8 pieces, with a pizza cutter.
• Three-four pieces with a green salad is plenty for two-three persons, or as an appetizer for a few folks!
• NOTE: Use whatever cheese mixture you like ~ my photo with the blue background is made with swiss and mozzarella, with the basil underneath where it can't be seen!

• Spread over the pizza crust, and sprinkle with the olives.
• Return the pizza to the oven and bake 12 to15 minutes, or until the top is slightly browned and bubbling along the edges.
