Down where it’s better, this Popcorn Shrimp Pizza comes straight out a fairy tale, or should we say a fairy fin? Delicious panko breaded shrimp baked to a crispy delight. On a base of classic tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese these little shrimps deliver in a big way.

Not everyones a fan of seafood on a pizza, I hear that, especially heating it up in the work microwave, not cool guys. But forget work for a minute and let’s talk shrimp. Not only are these tasty little shrimp awesome but to lighten things up a bit added some fresh chopped parsley for another layer of flavour.

Instructions

WILD DOUGH (1 hour)

Make your dough by mixing the sourdough starter, bread flour (adding a bit of flour at a time until it takes shape but is still a little sticky) and salt together. If it's too dry you can add a little water. Knead the dough for 30 seconds, flour lightly as needed.
Place the wild dough in a lightly floured bowl and cover with a towel, set aside for 1 hour. (The pizza steel or stone needs to preheat for 1 hour as well, so preheat oven to 550°F after you finish making your pizza dough).

Deschell and devein raw shrimp.
Get 3 mixing bowls. Add flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt and black pepper to mixing bowl #1. Add egg to a mixing bowl #2 and mix lightly. And add breadcrumbs to mixing bowl #3.
