Shrimp Bomb Toast Pizza (Air Fryer)
Easy Air Fryer Snack: Shrimp Bomb Toast Pizza Recipe with Whole Shrimp!
Today, we’re making pizza at home! This isn’t pizza made with homemade dough; instead, we’re using toast as our pizza base. I prefer this method because I don’t always have the conditions to make dough from scratch, and I don’t particularly enjoy time-consuming processes. For a quick and speedy pizza, I usually make toast pizza at home. I’ve posted several toast pizza recipes on my blog before, but today I made a ‘Shrimp Bomb Toast Pizza’. This pizza is made with whole shrimp, not chopped, giving it a truly unique visual appeal. Let me show you how to make this amazing Shrimp Bomb Toast Pizza right now.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of toast (thicker bread works best)
- 18 shrimp (medium size, peeled and deveined)
- 4 Tbsp tomato sauce
- 100g mozzarella cheese (adjust to your preference)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 pinches parsley flakes (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables. Wash the onion, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red bell pepper, then remove the seeds. Julienne them into thin strips about 0.3cm thick. These vegetables will add color and texture to your pizza.
Step 2
Now it’s time to cook the star ingredient: the shrimp. Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a preheated pan over medium heat. Add the prepared shrimp and stir-fry until they turn pink and are cooked through. Once cooked, set them aside.
Step 3
Next, we’ll turn the toast into a pizza base. Take your two slices of toast and spread a generous amount of tomato sauce evenly over each slice, going close to the edges. This sauce layer will add moisture and flavor.
Step 4
Now, let’s layer on the toppings! Start by placing the cheddar cheese slices on top of the tomato sauce. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the cheddar. Evenly distribute the julienned onion, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red bell pepper on top of the cheese. Finally, arrange the sliced black olives and the cooked shrimp all over the pizza. The whole shrimp will make it look incredibly appealing!
Step 5
After arranging all the toppings, finish with a sprinkle of parsley flakes. Parsley adds a lovely aroma and a pop of green color, making your toast pizza look even more appetizing.
Step 6
Carefully place the prepared toast pizza onto an air fryer-safe pan. If you don’t have a specific pan, you can place it directly onto the air fryer basket. Be gentle to ensure the toppings stay in place.
Step 7
Now, let the air fryer work its magic! Place the pan with the pizza into the air fryer and set the temperature to 180°C (350°F). Cook for about 10 minutes. Keep in mind that air fryer cooking times can vary, so it’s a good idea to check on it occasionally to ensure the cheese is melted and the toast is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 8
After 10 minutes, carefully remove your perfectly baked Shrimp Bomb Toast Pizza from the air fryer. You’ll have a delightful pizza with melted, gooey cheese, a crispy toast base, and delicious whole shrimp and fresh vegetables. Enjoy it immediately while it’s hot!
