SHRIMP PIZZA

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: Whisk together the vinegar, Dijon, garlic, shallots, thyme and lemon juice in a bowl. Pour in the oil slowly, whisking until emulsified. Reserve.
• For the garlic confit: Heat olive oil in a saucepan, then pour over garlic in a bowl and allow to cool. Reserve.
• For the pizza: Preheat the oven with a pizza stone in it to 500 degrees F.
• Split shrimp in half lengthwise, then coat with a little olive oil and fresh oregano and set aside.
• Place dough on a work surface. Spread escarole over the dough, then add Manchego and mozzarella. Place shrimp on the pie, leaving room so that they will not be overcrowded. Transfer the pizza to a peel, then transfer to the pizza stone.
• Bake until the pizza and shrimp look cooked, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Garnish pizza with capers, 1 tablespoon garlic confit, 2 ounces vinaigrette, Pecorino, crushed red pepper and sea salt. Slice and serve.

SHRIMP CREOLE AND SMOKED MOZZARELLA PIZZAS

Steps:

• Make the dough:
• in a large bowl dissolve sugar in water. Sprinkle yeast over water and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cups flour and salt and blend mixture until it forms a dough. Knead dough on a floured surface, incorporating as much of remaining 1/4 cup flour as necessary to prevent dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
• (Alternatively, dough may be made in a food processor. Proof yeast as described above. In the food processor process yeast mixture with 2 cups flour and salt until mixture forms a ball, adding more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if too dry or some of remaining 1/4 cup flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if too wet, and knead dough by processing it 15 seconds more.)
• Put dough, prepared by either method, in a deep oiled bowl and turn to coat with oil. Let dough rise, covered with plastic wrap in a warm place 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk, and punch down. Dough is now ready to be formed into pizza.
• Make the pizza:
• In a medium heavy saucepan cook onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic in oil, covered, over moderately low heat, stirring, until celery is softened, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and juice, thyme, and cayenne and simmer, uncovered, stirring, until mixture is very thick, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Sauce may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Stir in shrimp and cook sauce, stirring, until shrimp are cooked through, the liquid they give off is evaporated, and the sauce is thickened.
• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Sprinkle cornmeal on an oiled 14-inch black steel pizza pan or black steel baking sheet. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a 14-inch round and fit into pan. Sprinkle dough with half of mozzarella and top with shrimp Creole, spreading mixture evenly, and remaining cheese.
• Bake pizza in lower third of an electric oven or on floor of a gas oven 10 minutes, or until crust is golden.

INDIAN SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the onion in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow it to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric, paprika, and ground chile (see Note) to the onion and stir over low heat. Pour the tomatoes and coconut milk into the skillet; season with salt.
• Cook the mixture at a simmer, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir the shrimp, fresh cilantro, and dried cilantro into the sauce mixture; cook another 1 minute before serving.
