Being a seafood lover I thought that crabmeat would be nice on a pizza. When Anne came in with the ingredients, she surprised me with a pack of peeled brown shrimps so I combined the two and made a fabulous pizza.
The only downside was the amount of liquid in the crabmeat, added to increase the nett weight rather than for any culinary reason. It made the pizza a little wet. Next time I make this I will spin the crabmeat in a salad spinner to reduce the amount of liquid. If you don't have a salad spinner just sit the crabmeat in a sieve for 30 minutes.

- Removed the part-baked pizza and spread with Tomato sauce for pizza or passata
- Sprinkle with the finely chopped onions
- Add the peeled brown shrimp and cover with the crabmeat
- Arrange the torn mozzarella over the seafood. Try to cover as much of the seafood as possible so it does not get too crisped
