Tips for Choosing Quality Seafood and Fresh Herbs


  • Seafood: Look for fresh, high-quality shrimp and crab meat. When using frozen seafood, ensure it is fully thawed and patted dry before using.

  • Herbs: Fresh herbs can significantly enhance the flavor. Parsley, thyme, and basil collaborate beautifully with seafood. If fresh herbs are not available, dried herbs can be a good substitute.


Favorite Garnish Suggestions

  • Arugula: Adds a peppery, fresh flavor that complements the richness of the seafood and cheese.

  • Red Pepper Flakes: Adds a touch of heat for those who enjoy a bit of spice.


Variations and Customization Options


  • Different Breads: Try using flatbreads or pita bread as a base for a different texture.

  • Alternative Cheeses: Experiment with cheeses like feta or goat cheese for a unique twist.

  • Additional Toppings: Add veggies like cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or olives to customize your pizza.

  • Sauce Options: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce or pesto on the Naan before adding the cheese and toppings for added flavor.
