Nutrition per portion

Ingredients
  • 1 TBSP OF OLIVE OIL
  • 2 TBSP OF MINCED ONION
  • 2 TBSP OF MINCED GARLIC
  • 1 CAN OF TOMATO PASTE
  • 1 CUP OF CHICKEN BROTH
  • 1 TSP OF SALT
  • 1 TBSP OF SUGAR
  • 1 TBSP OF ITALIAN SEASONING
  • 1 PACKAGE OF PIZZA DOUGH
  • 1/2 CUP OF CHEESE
  • 1/2 CUP OF SLICED ONIONS
  • 1/2 CUP OF SHRIMP
Method
Preheat the oven to 500 F or highest temp it can go for 35 or 40 minutes. On medium heat In a small saucepan place 1 tbsp of olive in with minced onions. Saute until onions in oil for about 1 minute. Then add garlic, crushed red pepper and salt. Continue to stir until the garlic becomes fragrant. Add tomato paste and cook the raw taste out of it for 5-7 minutes by stirring. This will help with tartness. Using a whisk, pour the cup of chicken broth in slowly. Whisk the broth in slow to create the desired thickness of the sauce. You may not use all of it depending on your personal taste. Once you have your desired thickness, add the sugar and italian seasoning then stir to incorporate. Half cover with small lid and allow the sauce to simmer on low. I let mine cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes taste and adjust for flavor. If you find that the sauce is too thick add more chicken broth to thin it out until desired likness. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. In a large cast iron pan 12 inches. Place a tsp of oil at the bottom and rub all sides. Remove and access oil with a paper towel. Pull the dough into the shape of the pan. Make sure the dough covers all sides. Once it does, allow the dough to stay covered with a towel until ready to bake about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the crust will be room temp and slightly bigger. Start to layer your desired toppings. Because the cast iron isn't the same temp of the oven, I would suggest you start to cook the pizza on the stove over medium low heat for 10 minutes. Then place it in the over for 15 minutes but check after 10 as everyone's oven is different. If your pizza is done, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove from the cast iron pan and enjoy.        

J. Delawcious Seafood Boil

Seafood Boil Time!

J. Delawcious Seafood Boil is a nice way to cut cost on a seafood dinner for the family. My J. Delawcious Seafood Boil can comfortably feed 5 people. Joe’s Crab Shack charges about 60 dollars total for two people to eat a steam pot. So why pay more?  I am going to show you how to get the same experience and save a little money. Let me break down what I spent for this meal. I spent 6.99 for one bag of shrimp. $6 for lobster, $20 for snow crab, 5 for the sausages and I already had potatoes/corn. $37.99 to feed four people. Which was a total of $9.50 a person.

Joe’s Steam Pot recipe called the Arctic Bay for one person has snow crab, shrimp, a whole Maine lobster and smoked sausage cooked in garlic butter and topped with Old Bay Seasoning cost $31.49! Why pay more?

So let’s get started on this J. Delawcious Boil.

What you will need:

  • 2 Pounds of Peeled and Deveined Large Shrimp
  • 2 Lobsters
  • 3 Chopped Hot Chicken Sausage
  • 4 Halved Snow Crab Legs
  • 4 Chopped Red Potatoes
  • 5 Ears of Corn on the Cob
  • 2 Chopped Medium Onions
  • 3 Lemons Sliced
  • 1 Half Bottle of J. Delawcious Seasoning
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 2 Tbsp of Old Bay
  • 3 Cups Water


Cook:

In a large pot add water, bay leaves, lemons, and J. Delawcious seasoning. Allow the broth to simmer for 15 minutes. Then add potatoes. Allow potatoes to cook for 5-8 minutes. After 8 minutes, add the chicken sausage and corn.

Stir and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Add lobster. Allow to simmer for 6 minutes. Make sure the lobster shell is submerged in the broth. After 6 minutes, remove lobster and sit aside. Add crab legs and steam in broth for 5 minutes. Remove crabs from broth after five minutes and sit aside. Then add the shrimp to the broth and cook for five minutes.

Garnish with parsley and plate in a tin steam pot with extra lemons.
