Seafood Laksa Pizza with Coconut Curry Base

Laksa is a cult Southeast Asian soup, built on a spicy coconut curry base. This pizza translates that flavor into solid form: instead of tomato sauce, a thick mix of laksa paste and coconut milk forms the base, topped with seafood and chicken. Exotic, creamy, spicy, and fragrant—a tropical journey in every bite.

Instructions

1

Prep toppings: sear chicken cubes halfway. Mix laksa paste with thick coconut milk into a creamy sauce.

Tip: Use the thick cream from the top of the coconut milk can, not the water.
2

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Tip: Hot oven required.
3

Roll dough, place on sheet. Spread coconut-laksa base.

Tip: Fragrant and spicy—spread thinly.
4

Sprinkle cheese, arrange chicken, raw shrimp, and pepper strips.

Tip: Shrimp cooks fast (use raw), chicken takes longer (sear first).
5

Sprinkle chili flakes to taste.

Tip: Laksa paste is already spicy, taste sauce first!
6

Bake 12-15 minutes until cheese bubbles and crust browns.

Tip: Shrimp is done when pink and curled.
7

Top generously with cilantro and sliced scallions.

Tip: Cilantro's citrus notes are essential for Laksa.
