Breaded Coconut Shrimp Pizza
Sometimes kitchen ideas are better in the mind of the cook but when executed do not work. Well, this one was tremendous. My wife called it a tropical pizza. Agreed. It had a very Caribbean feel to it.
That's it for now...till we exchange a few words again...Peace!
I seriously love and appreciate a good pizza. Your tropical pizza looks divine. Coconut shrimp has such a sweet and juicy flavor/texture. I can totally see it being perfectly paired with the pineapple BBQ sauce. Awesome pizza!!
