- Where to get Laksa paste?
- Asian grocers or international aisle. Red curry paste is a decent substitute.
- Can I use frozen shrimp?
- Yes, but thaw and dry thoroughly or they'll waterlog the pizza.
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.

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