1 1/2 cups - peeled shrimp, diced bitesize
1 cup - crabmeat, diced bitesize
1 1/2 cups - shredded mozzarella cheese
2 eggs - slightly beaten
3/4 cups - shredded, extra sharp cheddar cheese
5 oz - chopped spinach, drained
1/2 cup - ricotta cheese
1/4 cup - grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
1/2 tbsp - minced garlic
1/2 cup - diced mushrooms
1/2 cup - diced onion
1 tsp - lemon juice
1 tsp - minced parsley
1/4 tsp - ground nutmeg
salt & pepper

Combine all of the above ingredients in a large mixing bowl, (except for reserving a 1/4 cup each of the mozzarella, shrimp (whole) and crab pieces for garnish).

Form a pizza dough shell in a rustica pizza pan or 10" to 12" pie pan. Try our classic pizza dough recipe for this Shrimp and Crabmeat Seafood Pizza Rustica.

Spread the casserole-like mixture evenly into the dough shell.

Garnish top with the reserved mozzarella, shrimp and crabmeat pieces and color the top with a little more nutmeg or paprika. Drizzle with olive oil.

Bake at 325°F for about 55 minutes, (mid-oven), until the mixture has melted and the dough crust has browned.

When done, remove from the pizza oven and let it set to cool for 10 minutes. Carefully slip the pizza onto a cutting board to slice or serve whole.
