Instructions
Preparing the Lobster
- Separate the lobster meat from the shells. Set the meat aside for the pizza and reserve the shells for the sauce.
Lobster cheese Sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add half of the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until translucent.
- Add the lobster shells to the pan, and cook on high heat. Crush the shells as they cook to release maximum flavor.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine, letting the alcohol cook off and the wine reduce for 2–3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of water, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let this simmer for 3 more minutes.
- Strain the mixture to remove and discard the shells, reserving the flavorful lobster sauce.
- In the same pan, melt the butter and add the remaining onion and garlic. Cook for 1–2 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the cooking cream and add the mozzarella. Cook, stirring, for another 2 minutes until smooth.
- Add the lobster sauce to this creamy mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for 1 more minute, then add the parmesan cheese. Stir well, then remove the pan from heat and set the sauce aside
Lobster topping
- In a hot pan, melt butter. Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until translucent.
- Add parsley and chopped chilies, cooking for 2 minutes.
- Add the reserved lobster meat and cook for 3–4 minutes (it will finish cooking in the oven). Set aside.
Assembling the Pizza
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (215°C).
- Roll out and stretch the pizza dough to cover a 13-inch pizza pan or cast iron skillet.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the dough. Use a pastry brush to coat the entire surface, including the crust.
- Use a fork to poke holes all over the center of the dough to prevent bubbling.
- Spread the lobster cheese sauce over the pizza (avoiding the crust). Top with shredded mozzarella, the partially cooked lobster, and slices of goat cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden and cheese is melted.
- Garnish with chopped chives, slice, and serve.Enjoy your luxurious, homemade Lobster Pizza!
