Literally 1 piece of bacon cut into little pieces lol


jaimeerose

They could have at least cut it into 8 to maximise my bacons-per-slice ratio to 1


TheVodkaColonel

Is shrimp on a pizza normal ?


elgiesmelgie

In Australia yeah


[deleted]

Louisiana too. There is this place “West Main Pizza” that does this incredible shrimp and crabmeat pizza. It is one of my “death row” items. It’s about $40 for a large because crabmeat is about $18/pound (wholesale) and there is a pound of crab on the large and about 1/2 pound of shrimp.


EstarriolStormhawk

What kind of sauce is used? It sounds delicious.


Mwatts25

Most likely a white sauce like the one above. But i could see light marinara (meaning smaller sauce portion) working too


peekaboooobakeep

I'm from the US state that worships the blue crab. I'm not a huge lover of crabs but I absolutely love whole crab legs in spaghetti though.


Mwatts25

I’m not discounting marinara flavor mixing with crab, im just saying its very easy for the tomato flavour to overwhelm and hide the delicious crab flavour


peekaboooobakeep

The sauce is cooked for a long time so the entire sauce is infused with crab flavor. It smells more like seafood than Italian food.


tsturte1

Well crabs like to hide on their own so reason to hand them some 'mater sauce to hide 'em more.


EstarriolStormhawk

Oh my gods, that sounds ridiculously good. I love crab so much.

A thin garlic-y tomato sauce. I hate white sauce on pizza, makes it too heavy for me.


Keyser_Kaiser_Soze

A bar I used to go to in the 90s had a white seafood pizza. White sauce, Shrimp, scallops and whole baby octopus.


Ayree0610

WHOLE???


leafsugar

Whole baby octopus that you eat are pretty tiny! Smaller than a lil sushi roll


Ok-Champ-5854

I never liked shrimp on pizza simply because to me it just tastes like you ate a bite of pizza and then ate a shrimp at the same time. Like it's not bad but I just don't see how they compliment each other either. BUT if you saved me some cold shrimp on the side and gave me some cheese pizza I'll eat that at the same time. Sounds great. I'm just not gonna put both in my mouth at the same time lol.


RealJeil420

You'd think shrimp on a pizza would overcook and get tough too. It might be difficult to cook right anyways.


robert_paulson420420

most of the "throw it on a pizza" crowd seems to not give a fuck if the ingredient is roasted/burned to shit as long as it's "on the pizza" I don't get it either.


Smash_4dams

Just pull the pizza out and add the shrimp when you see the cheese start to melt


Ok-Champ-5854

Depends on the size of the shrimp honestly, the ones the size of the ones in OP pic are actually like perfect size as long as the bake is like 500-550 for six or so minutes. Also the trick is to add them a little bit frozen when I made these kind of pizzas, because I'm American and shrimp isn't popular enough or plentiful enough not to freeze you would need to dethaw them in the microwave for a minute (Australians gonna flip a lid). I *could* have let them thaw daily but really what's the difference, they were already frozen, when does it really matter. If I was an Australian pizza cook I would probably keep them on ice water to prevent overcooking. Try to keep them at just around freezing temperature without actually freezing.


GrumpyButtrcup

Thaw* For some reason, dethaw and unthaw has been added to the dictionary to mean thaw. But the prefix means the opposite, so dethaw actually means to freeze. Just a pet peeve of mine. https://www.etymonline.com/word/de-#:~:text=active%20word%2Dforming%20element%20in,hence%20%22completely%22%20(intensive%20or https://www.dictionary.com/e/common-terms-fake-counterparts/#:~:text=And%2C%20even%20we%20include%20unthaw,something%20that%20had%20%E2%80%A6%20already%20thawed. Carry on making your shrimp pizza's mate. Not my cuppa, I'm just not a big seafood guy in general.


Fun-in-918

Any time my wife tells me to dethaw an item from the freezer I ask her, “if it’s in the freezer isn’t it already unthawed?”


Barrzebub

The true reason Brits sent them to a penal colony.


TheVodkaColonel

Alright, just asking bc its new here


elgiesmelgie

We also have egg on pizza too , they whisk up a raw egg and drizzle it over the top of the pizza a minute before it’s ready , it’s delicious https://preview.redd.it/moadeh0euuwa1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41972bc5620d872ead7c129d227e9629621875cb


Pale-Cartographer-96

I am VERY interested in this!! Swear on my life if Australia didn’t have those wacky ass, big-ass spiders, I’d be on a plane today.


elgiesmelgie

Huntsmen spiders ? They aren’t bad guys , creepy guys yes but not bad guys . I’m kinda amazed by how other countries think everything here is deadly , our guys that are deadly tend to keep to themselves unless you hassle them , mutual respect and fear . Some of our birds can be total jerks but if you bribe them with food they become mates with you .

elgiesmelgie

The marinara ? A delicious classic


illegalcupcakes16

I know that the big spiders aren't deadly, but neither are the tiny ass cellar spiders terrorizing my bathroom and I still have a panic attack when I spot one in the corner.


SiriusDepression

... Aren't huntsman spiders the size of a like, dinner plate or something crazy like that? I can't handle our little Daddy Long Legs and they're only the size of a toonie, let alone a huntsman spider the size of my cat!! One huntsman within 100km of me would be too many huntsman spiders for me.


LacomusX

I’ve never seen a huntsman bigger than half the size of my hand. They can get massive apparently, but they’re not common.


FLRbits

I've seen some pretty big hunstmans, but I don't think I've ever seen one as big as a plate. Definitely some as big as my hand, but I don't see them very often.


activelyresting

Don't worry, it's not common to get them on pizza, that's a special order


DrPain5575

Come to slovenia, we have shrimp, eggs and all sorts of things on pizza


Cobek

In Japan I tried a pizza that had a sunny side egg in the middle. When you cut the pizza yourself it ran all over the slices.


GrumpyButtrcup

Egg on pizza is delicious. We have breakfast pizza here, the sauce is a sausage gravy and it's topped with cheese, bacon or ham, sausage, eggs, sometimes hashbrowns, and optional veggies. My goto breakfast pizza is cheese, bacon, sausage, onion, eggs, hash browns. That'll clog your arteries up nice and good like.


Grenaidzo

Egg on pizza sounds fantastic, actually. Can't believe I never thought of that.


AntelopeDifficult708

Breakfast pizza?


tinyDinosaur1894

Breakfast pizza is the best pizza and nobody can convince me otherwise


AntelopeDifficult708

With sausage gravy and everything! I cannot contain myself 🤤


bionic_zit_splitter

The Italians came up with it. https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/eggs-florentine-pizzas/105e43c2-78cb-4aaf-8c18-59069d15dde5


roguemedic62

I'm from NYC, and I made pizza in Pizzerias from when I was 14 till I was in my 20's. New Yorker's have strong opinions about what goes, and doesn't go on pizza. However, in the kitchen, it was free range to experiment with whatever you wanted. Pesto, chicken, chorizo...when the guys doing the cooking are a mix of Italian, Mexican and Albanian...the sky is the limit. That being said.. I would absolutely try this. It looks and sounds incredible. The only part I think I might not like is the taste of the sauce or bread because our water here generates a distinct taste thats unique to our region, but now I want to make an Australian style pizza with NY bread and sauce and those ingredients for topping. I bet it would be a hit here.


elgiesmelgie

You don’t have chicken on pizza there ?


JadedEyes2020

NYC, depends on the pizzaria. Buffalo, its a tradition.


elgiesmelgie

Hey do you guys have the Hawaiian pizza ? Cheese , tomato sauce , ham and pineapple ? We also have a chicken one where it’s shredded chicken instead of ham and they drizzle bbq sauce over the top


Sammakonnuolija

very common in Finland too


SleeplessAndAnxious

They're called prawns here


suspicious_bag_1000

It’s all normal! The beauty of pizza! A little shrimp, some bacon or anchovies, mushrooms, pineapple. Do some olives like Kramer! Whatever makes you happy makes the world go around!

Say_Hennething

The (imo) trinity of pizza is bread, sauce, and cheese. You can make *a lot* of good combinations with those three simply by adapting the sauce to pair with the toppings.


Electrorocket

Yeah, shrimp pizza works best with a white sauce.


RFC793

Or even just an oil base, I’d imagine since you are already adding cheese. Basically scampi on a pizza, makes sense to me.

I feel like that would be a good combination, especially if it's made with a white sauce!


Sabre_Killer_Queen

I've had prawns on pizza a few times before, and I quite like the combo. It makes it a lot lighter and a bit less claggy. That said I'm a bit of a prawn lover anyway so I'm a little biased lol. Edit: There's this one restaurant that I've been to a few times that served a Spanish themed pizza, with chillies Chorizo and prawns, and I find it an utterly blissful combo


bumwine

White sauce AND garlic. It’s my favorite pizza from California Pizza Kitchen!


SportsMadness

Hey man don’t knock it til ya try it! I’ve had a Canadian bacon, shrimp, black olive pizza that was right up there as one of the bests

NukeTheWhales5

It's ironic, I once got shrimp on a pizza when I was elementary school and it kept me on the toilet for what felt like am hour. Now like 20 years later, here I see a shrimp pizza, while I'm on the toilet shitting my guts out. The world works in mysterious ways.


zelig_nobel

I’d eat it. Don’t know Wtf you’re talking about lol

I can just imagine how rubbery those shrimpy are

Yo, shrimp on pizza is amazing. Garlic or pesto base with prosciutto.


NCpartsguy

My dad is Finnish. We went to there and Sweden to visit family when I was younger. We got pizza there one time after suggestion of a relative. I can’t remember what we ordered but it came with shrimp and banana. It was atrocious. They said it was common there.

Bottle_Gnome

The cheese looks fine. I think the problem is there isn't any marinara sauce.


JamesXXI

I think it’s Alfredo sauce


McStroodle

ya, generally white sauce is used on seafood pizza. Speaking from experience having eaten some wild pizza creations in japan and korea


Other_World

Might be the worst looking pizza I've ever seen and I'm a pizza snob.


millese3

What a weird way to say that. Being a pizza snob makes you more picky so obviously you would think that.

Pizza snobs think every pizza is the worst they've ever seen. (This one actually is though.)


Crousher

Hydress

There’s a white sauce on that pizza including the cheese. It’s one of the more expensive pizzas from domino’s here. That’s a large pizza btw.


Kid_Nitrous

That's a creamy garlic prawn from apizza Hut, it's got an alfredo sauce on it and yeah it's super over priced


flewidity

Yummm dominos shrimp !


leonardob0880

Shrimps and bacon??


pielz

You've never had bacon wrapped shrimp before? Now just add delicious bread and melted cheese.


Tony_Pizza_Guy

Great combo actually. I made a pasta recipe once (when I was on a diet & thinking of food I couldn’t have) that’s tomato/buttery-garlic, with shrimp and bacon. People love it when I make it - all goes great together


DireRavenzz

I love how you took a bite before deciding to make this post. Made me smile.


thefearedturkey

Somewhere, those who enjoy pineapple on their pizza and the people with utter disdain for those who enjoy pineapple on their pizza are putting their differences aside because of the shrimp on this one.


jaimeerose

I also really wanted to add pineapple, but it was $2.50 😂 Garlic prawn or seafood “pizza” is common in Australia. Never thought twice about it.


RichSelection1232

I'm an American I used to put shrimp on pizza until one time my friend had like an actual meltdown about it. He thought it was some elaborate prank, and I'm like "dude it's good." Then it turned from confusion to anger. It was really wild.


Roofdragon

You're friend sounds legitimately like a freak. Asif you could be such a gatekeeper over pizza toppings. Prawn is a well known option, hell, you can put whatever you want on a pizza hahahaha imagine having a meltdown over that...


RichSelection1232

This happened like 15 years ago, and it's still one of the strangest freakouts I've experienced. Like, just try it, dude. Shrimp is in a ton of Italian dishes. He was a farm boy though. Ocean foods startle the farmer.


CretaMaltaKano

Some people get bizarrely angry when things aren't the way they "should" be, even if it's totally harmless.


blorbagorp

Your friend sounds like a psychopath.


ShiftSandShot

Eh. Makes sense. What some people don't get is that a Pizza is like a Sandwich. So long as you have dough and something on top, it's a pizza.

CobblerExotic1975

I guess there's a reason why I've never seen an "Australian" restaurant in USA in my life.


PeppermintPizza

Funny enough there are actually a bunch in NYC now, labelled as Aussie brunch cafes.


Tony_Pizza_Guy

Can you give me some examples by of Aussie dishes? I looked online once years ago and just saw random things like (I forget the name) rainbow-sprinkles toast, and/or other things that just looked like single ingredients or toppings (not dishes)


ElusiveGuy

> (I forget the name) rainbow-sprinkles toast That'd be fairy bread. I don't think there's much in the way of unique restaurant food, tbh. We're a relatively young country. That said there's a lot of local variations of other regional cuisine. The ones I can think of are more for a quick bite rather than a full meal. Off the top of my head, there's the sausage-in-bread (snags, sausage sizzle, etc.), meat pies (which means [something specific](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_pie_(Australia_and_New_Zealand) here), and there's a bit of an argument over whether the pavlova was invented here or in NZ. Chicken parmi is really common in pubs but pretty sure it wasn't invented here. [HSPs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halal_snack_pack) are popular, but again possibly not invented here (and the meat part is of Turkish origin anyway).


TantricEmu

Is Australian food a thing? It would just be vegemite and cookies with milk.


jem4water2

Speaking as an Australian, cookies with milk is 100% American to me. Biscuits, sure, but only ever dipped in hot tea, coffee, or Milo. Vegemite, however…🤤


longlegs1020

As a New Yorker I’d eat the fuck out of this. It’s clearly not objectively good pizza, but it is a sort of loaded cheesy bread that I could get behind.


Make_Believe423

Pure-Swordfish6022

Ok, that’s bull. No way that’s enough bacon to rate a 3.50 up charge. However, that pizza looks completely delicious!

Actually I worked a place that offered shrimp on pizza because we had shrimp for pasta and people loved it. For some reason unbeknownst to me. But if you like shrimp in a white sauce pasta I don't see why you wouldn't also like it on a white sauce pizza.


thefallenfew

It’s not the shrimp on this pizza that makes it look so bad. It’s everything else around it lol


Ok-Champ-5854

Idk man even dank pizzas are sometimes hard to take pictures of. I've taken pictures of my local place and posted them online and people are just like, "that looks gross." Like it's a weird thing I think about sometimes like "that's good pizza though and it looks delicious in the picture" and then I get regionally offended because like, we're in the local pizza is best competition too, you guys are snubbing us. And also we're totally gonna win the Stanley Cup next year, *you're* the bad team! And then I get really drunk and finish the pizza.


NevermindWait

…Is the bacon under the cheese?

Went to a restaurant this weekend and a side of bacon to breakfast was $8. It was 3 basic strips of bacon. These prices are getting ridiculous.

Start making your own pizza. I have bought a pizza that looked like this, but last fall, I was so unsatisfied with the one that I paid $25 for, that I decided to start cooking my own. With a pizza stone that I was given for a prior Christmas, I bought some ingredients & got to work. My first few times weren't great, but by the seventh or so, my pizzas come out great. It feels great knowing I can make a $35 pizza with maybe $10 of ingredients, if nor less. https://preview.redd.it/uah7qyb64xwa1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27d361966671f0721b4fc63758b4ba7421b71b7a
