TIPS AND HINTS:

• Choose any of the De Costi Prawn Range options that resonate with your taste preferences, such as cooked, marinated, or flavored prawns, to infuse a distinct seafood essence into the pizza.
• Opt for high-quality, prepared thin pizza bases to ensure a crispy and well-balanced texture for your pizza.
• When spreading the tomato paste over the pizza base, use the back of a spoon to create an even and thin layer. This helps distribute the flavor and prevents the pizza from becoming overly saucy.
• To achieve an evenly melted and golden cheese topping, sprinkle the pizza cheese evenly across the base, covering the entire surface.
• When mixing the De Costi Prawns in a bowl, gently fold to avoid damaging the delicate prawn texture. Evenly distribute the prawns over the pizza bases to ensure each bite contains a delectable seafood element.
• Preheating the oven to 200°C allows for even cooking and helps achieve a nicely bubbly and golden cheese topping.
• Keep a close eye on the pizzas as they bake; the cheese should be melted, and the edges slightly golden. Overcooking can cause the prawns to become rubbery and the cheese to burn.
• Add a creative twist to your pizza by drizzling a bit of chipotle mayonnaise before or after baking. This adds a touch of smoky and slightly spicy flavor that complements the prawns beautifully.
• For a fresh burst of flavor, garnish the sliced pizza with aromatic and vibrant fresh basil leaves just before serving.
