Every year our parents grey-nomad around some part of Australia in their caravan.  Dad has a boat on top of his 4×4 and generally they go inland. They love the quiet open spaces and the calmness of lakes and rivers.  They do love to go red-clawing and they literally catch hundreds! So when they came and stayed with me we made red-claw crayfish pies, curries, and pizza.  It was awesome!

You can use any seafood on this pizza such as redclaw crayfish, prawns, white fish, salmon, calamari, and scallops.

I made a pesto base and a tomato base but the pesto base was by far the best so I encourage you to give it a go.  It’s a little different, but oh-so-yummy!

You will need one batch of pizza dough, so make sure to have this made before starting. You can make this in advance and freeze it, great for a time-poor night or the Friday ‘I can’t be bothered cooking’ night (for more tips on the pizza bases, see that recipe).
