Ingredients:

• 2 cups grape tomatoes
• Olive oil
• Salt & pepper
• 3 cups baby spinach, rinsed & dried
• 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
• 8 oz shrimp
• 8 oz sea scallops
• Homemade or store-bought pizza dough
• 1/2 cup prepared basil pesto, store bought or home made
• 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup fontina cheese, shredded
• 1 cup oil-packed dried tomatoes, drained and cut into thin strips
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Method

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss grape tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Bake tomatoes in preheated oven until softened, wrinkled and lightly caramelized, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile saute spinach, garlic and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Drain excess liquid if necessary and set aside. Season shrimp and scallops with salt and pepper to taste and grill on grill pan or outdoor grill until nearly cooked through. Stretch pizza dough on a seasoned pizza stone or use 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to lightly grease pan. Spread pesto evenly on dough and sprinkle shredded fontina over pesto. Evenly distribute cooked spinach, goat cheese, sliced dried tomatoes and roasted grape tomatoes atop fontina. With a pastry brush, use 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to lightly brush outer crust of pizza and sprinkle very lightly with salt. Place in preheated oven until cheese is nearly melted and crust is slightly browned, about 12-15 minutes. Remove pie from oven and randomly scatter seafood. Finish cooking pizza until seafood is heated and fontina is melted, about 5 more minutes. Remove pie from oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes: Other pizza will be "green with envy" when they see this gorgeous pie. Also great for an appetizer, cut into small pieces for the holidays, with the red roasted tomatoes, green spinach and pesto.
