Directions
-
Peel, devein, and halve the shrimp lengthwise. Wash scallops and slice if using large varieties. Pat all seafood dry with paper towels.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until soft but not browned.
-
Add shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until just opaque. Remove seafood to a plate to cool.
-
In the same skillet, add sliced scallions and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Remove scallions and reserve the garlic-infused oil.
-
Preheat oven to 425ðF (220ðC). Brush a pizza pan with reserved oil and sprinkle with cornmeal.
-
Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface. Place dough on the prepared pan, trimming edges if necessary. Bake crust alone for 10 minutes.
-
Remove crust from oven. Lightly brush with reserved garlic oil. Spread half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the thyme-infused pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
-
Crumble goat cheese over the sauce. Distribute the cooked shrimp, scallops, and scallions evenly. Spoon remaining pizza sauce over toppings.
-
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake on the bottom rack for 15 to 20 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

Note
For best results, ensure seafood is thoroughly patted dry before cooking to prevent steaming.
If using bay scallops, no slicing is needed. Sea scallops should be sliced in half if they are larger than 1 inch in diameter.
The pizza can be assembled and refrigerated for up to 30 minutes before baking if preparing ahead.
Substitute goat cheese with feta or ricotta if preferred.
