60 gram                             Mozzarella – grated.

20 gram                             Onion – chopped

A small handful of           Coriander and basil – finely chopped

1-2 wedge                          Lime

1 tablespoon                     Olive oil

3 tablespoon                     Tomato puree

2 tablespoon                     Passata

1/4 teaspoon                     Dry mix herbs

1/4 teaspoon                     Sriracha sauce

1/4 teaspoon                     Sugar

1                                           Chilli – finely sliced

1 pinch each                      Salt and black pepper

Method

-Marinate the king prawns and squid with Birds eye chilli, garlic, oyster sauce, fish sauce, light soy sauce, salt, sugar, pepper and paprika for approx 1 hour. Once ready to cook drain all the marinade liquid out.

-Gently fry the onion in the olive oil until it becomes translucent then add the passata and gently fry for a further 5 minutes.

-Add the dry mixed herbs, sriracha sauce, tomato puree, sugar, salt and black pepper then cook for further 4-5 minutes. Stir-regularly.

-Mix the Tempura batter according to the instructions on the package. I mixed the batter with 180ml of icy cold sparkling water.

-Spread the sauce on the ready-made pizza base then cook according to the instructions. Take it out of the oven just before the time stated on the package and spread the mozzarella cheese on the top, cook until the cheese melts.

-Heat the oil to 180 Celsius. Dip the prawns and squid in the batter mix. Then fry until they’re cooked. Usually, it takes approx 3-4 minutes.

-Once both elements are ready. Assemble by putting the Tempura seafood in the middle. Squeeze the lime, scatter the red chilli slices, chopped coriander and basil on top.

Tip:

-This dish will need multi-tasking skills as you need to bake the pizza base at the same time as frying the tempura seafood. So plan well.

-Place the seafood in piece by piece so it won’t clump together.

-A deep fat fryer would make everything much easier for this recipe but you will need at least 1.5 litres of oil to fry. Happy cooking!
