How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- Choose shrimp with shiny shells, firm bodies, hard heads that stick tightly to the body, legs firmly attached to the body, and firm meat.
- Avoid choosing shrimp that are slimy or those with legs that have turned black, heads that are about to fall off or have already fallen off, as these are signs that they are no longer fresh.
- Do not buy shrimp with spread-out, loose tails, missing tail fins, and not neatly arranged together, as this may indicate that the shrimp have been caught for a long time and are soaked in preservatives.

How to choose fresh bell peppers
- Delicious bell peppers have a smooth, shiny outer skin, vibrant color, and uniformity in color.
- It is advisable to choose bell peppers of moderate size and those that feel firm when held, with the stem still attached to the fruit.
- Avoid purchasing bell peppers that feel soft and mushy, have blemishes, cracks, or are missing the stem.

How to choose delicious corn
- Choose corn with fresh green husks, and the silk should not be dry or wilted.
- Pay attention to the corn cob, which should still be fresh; if it is not dry, the kernels inside will be sweeter.
- The kernels should be golden, uniform, and straight without any strange colors. When you squeeze a kernel with your finger and a lot of juice comes out, it will be very sweet.
- Avoid corn with dry husks or cloudy white color, as such ears are usually too old or have dried out and wilted.
Tools needed
How to make shrimp pizza
-
Mixing and kneading the dough
First, add 1/2 teaspoon of instant yeast to 100ml of sweetened fresh milk, stir until the yeast is fully dissolved, and let it sit to activate for 5 minutes.
Add 150g of all-purpose flour to a large bowl, pour in the activated yeast mixture, then add 4 tablespoons of cooking oil to the bowl and mix all the ingredients well.
When the dough just comes together, knead it by hand thoroughly for about 15 minutes, until the dough forms a smooth ball that no longer sticks to your hands.
-
Rolling out and proofing the dough
Shape the dough into a round ball, place it on a surface lined with parchment paper, and roll it out into a round piece about 0.5 cm thick. Place both the dough and the parchment paper onto the baking tray.
Let the dough proof in the oven for about 1 hour to rise. You should keep the oven door closed and you don’t need to turn the oven on!
-
Baking the pizza crust
Divide 150g of Mozzarella cheese into 2 equal parts, cut one half into 6 equal rectangular sticks to create the crust edge, and shred or cut the remaining part into thin strands to sprinkle on top of the pizza.
The dough that has risen for 1 hour should be taken out, arrange the 6 cheese sticks around the edge of the dough, placing them in a continuous circular shape about 1cm from the edge of the dough.
Using your hands, fold the edge of the dough inward and cover the cheese sticks, pressing the dough edge tightly to prevent the cheese from spilling out while baking.
Use a small wooden stick or fork to poke multiple evenly spaced small holes on the surface of the dough, no need to poke the cheese-covered edge!
Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. When the preheating time is over, place the pizza crust dough in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes.
-
Decorate and Bake the Cake
With 250g of shrimp, peel off the shell completely and remove the black vein on the back of the shrimp. Wash 1/2 corn, cut off the kernels, and discard the cob.
Wash the bell pepper, cut it in half, remove the seeds and core, then dice it. Slice the German sausage into thin rounds.
After baking the cake base in the oven for 5 minutes, take it out and spread a layer of ketchup on the top of the cake, avoiding the edges.
Take the grated Mozzarella cheese and divide it into 2 parts, sprinkle half evenly over the top of the cake, then arrange the sausage slices evenly on top of the cheese.
Next, sprinkle a little diced bell pepper and some corn kernels evenly, then sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top and arrange the shrimp on top to finish decorating!
Preheat the oven for about 10 minutes at 180 degrees, and once the oven is heated, place the cake in and bake at 180 degrees for 10 minutes until the cake is cooked.
