They chose
scallionsI spent the afternoon thinking and preparing and then we gathered after our evening session so they could see me assemble the dish and we could eat our Spicy Shrimp and Peanut Butter Pizzas together.
shrimp
jalapenos (we were in Texas)
phyllo dough
and peanut butter.
You, too, can make them at home.
½ cup melted butterTake each sheet of phyllo, one at a time, paint with butter and stack them one on top of the other. Fold in the sides to make about a ½ inch border, or crust, and then put it in a 350 oven for about eight minutes, until it is lightly browned.
8 sheets phyllo dough
½ cup peanut butterBlend the mixture in a food processor and then heat in a sauté pan until it thickens a bit. Set aside.
½ cup crushed pineapple
½ cup jalapenos, chopped
½ sweet chili sauce
¼ cup honey
10 medium sized shrimpBoil, grill, or sauté the shrimp (your pick) and let them cool.
½ cup corn kernelsMix the ingredients together to make a salsa of sorts.
½ roasted red peppers, chopped
½ cup jalapenos, chopped
½ cup scallions chopped
½ cup cooked bacon, chopped
lime juice
salt and pepper
Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the peanut sauce in the middle of the crust, leaving the turned in edges dry. Chop the shrimp and spread over the peanut sauce, then spread the salsa on top (you may not use all of it). The final touch is a layer of crumbled
queso frescoand then the pizza goes in a 350 oven for five to seven minutes, until everything is warmed through. Sprinkle some more chopped scallions on top to serve.
A couple of notes: you could use a regular pizza crust if you don’t want to fool with the phyllo. You can use another kind of cheese; I used what was available. This isn’t a fast recipe, but it seemed worth it as I watched every last piece of pizza disappear.
Peace,
Milton
