Swedish Shrimp & Dill Pizza

Swedes love seafood, and this pizza evokes the flavors of Skagen toast. Fresh, sweet shrimp, aromatic dill, and a creamy base result in a light, elegant pizza. It is important not to overcook the shrimp, or they become rubbery.

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Tip: Hot oven, fast bake.
2

Mix sour cream with salt and pepper, spread on dough. Top with cheese and onion.

Tip: Cream base suits seafood better than tomato.
3

Bake the pizza without shrimp for approx. 10 minutes.

Tip: Since shrimp cooks faster than dough, we delay adding it.
4

Remove, scatter shrimp on top, and return for 3-4 minutes.

Tip: This time is enough for shrimp to heat through/cook but stay juicy.
5

After baking, sprinkle generously with fresh dill and drizzle with oil.

Tip: Dill is heat sensitive, best served fresh.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes, but thaw and dry them thoroughly with paper towels, otherwise they will soak the pizza.
When do I add the shrimp?
If precooked (pink), add only at the end. If raw (gray), they can go in the oven but 5-6 minutes is enough.
