Swedish style prawn & dill pizza

Swedes love seafood, and this pizza evokes the flavours of Skagen toast. Fresh, sweet prawns, aromatic dill and a creamy base result in a light, elegant pizza. It is important not to overcook the prawns, or they will become rubbery.

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Tip: Hot oven, fast baking.
2

Mix the soured cream with salt and pepper, spread on the dough. Sprinkle with cheese and onion.

Tip: A soured cream base suits seafood flavours better than tomato.
3

Place the pizza in the oven without the prawns for about 10 minutes.

Tip: Since prawns cook faster than dough, we add them later.
4

Remove, scatter over the prawns, and return for another 3-4 minutes.

Tip: This is enough time for the prawns to heat through/cook whilst remaining juicy.
5

After baking, sprinkle generously with fresh dill and drizzle with oil.

Tip: Dill is heat sensitive and tastes best raw.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use frozen prawns?
Yes, but defrost them and dry them thoroughly with kitchen paper, otherwise they will make the pizza soggy.
When should I add the prawns?
If cooked (pink), only at the end. If raw (grey), they can go in the oven, but 5-6 minutes is enough for them.
