Method

1.Make pizza dough. Combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt in medium bowl; make a well in the centre. Stir in oil and enough of the water to mix to a soft dough.

2.Knead dough on floured surface about 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place dough in large oiled bowl, cover; stand in a warm place about 1 hour or until dough doubles in size.

3.Turn dough onto floured surface; knead until smooth.

4.Meanwhile, shell and devein prawns; halve prawns lengthways. Combine prawns, squid, oil, rind, chilli and garlic in medium bowl; season.

5.Preheat oven to 240°C/475°F. Oil two oven or pizza trays; place in heated oven.

6.Divide dough in half; roll each half on floured surface into 20cm x 25cm oval. Place on trays.

7.Spread bases with sauce; top with cheese, capsicum and seafood mixture.

8.Bake about 15 minutes or until bases are browned and crisp.

9.Meanwhile, make salsa verde. Blend or process parsley, mint, olive oil, capers, lemon juice and garlic until smooth; season to taste.

10.Serve pizzas drizzled with salsa.

To save time, buy shelled and deveined prawns and calamari rings from your local fish supplier. Some major supermarkets also have a fresh seafood section.
