Below is my seafood recipe for Rustic Pesto Pizza With Crab Surimi, Fresh Mozzarella, and Tomatoes from About.Com Fish and Seafood Cooking, where each week I share my newest seafood recipes and tips.

The words pizza and the words party naturally go together. When I was growing up in the NY Metro area, pizza was the one food that was never far from my thoughts (and in a place where salt bejeweled pretzels, pillowy knishes, and meatballs so amazing that you lived in dread of reaching the last bite abounded, that is really saying something).

It’s a splendid day indeed when you get to enjoy the perfect handheld envelopes of cheesy, tomatoey goodness that is pizza; whether classic NYC style, as bubbly sheet pizza, or a fine deep dish that goes straight to the heart of things.

Pizza was my default food then, the food every other culinary choice was measured against. Convenient, versatile, and just right for gatherings with friends.

This week’s recipe for Rustic Pesto Pizza With Crab Surimi, Fresh Mozzarella, and Tomatoes, is a delicious, timesaving, and economical version of the beloved Italian classic. Hand-stretched personal pizzas are just the thing to make when you want to entertain casually yet thoughtfully indoors or outdoors; whether as the main event or as a fun side dish.

Here’s How to Make Rustic Pesto Pizza With Crab Surimi, Fresh Mozzarella, and Tomatoes.

Enjoy!

Below is my seafood recipe for Curried Tuna Salad With Cashews and Raisins from About.Com Fish and Seafood Cooking, where each week I share my newest seafood recipes and tips.

This week’s recipe for Curried Tuna Salad With Cashews and Raisins, isn’t exactly the classic tuna salad recipe that many of us have enjoyed since we were little.

But in the spirit of “different is good” this is one wonderfully different tuna salad recipe; as exotic and flavorful as it is easy to make.

Rich with the flavor of Indian curry, ginger, cashews, green pepper, and raisins, this recipe is just what the doctor ordered when you’re looking for something quick and easy to make with that something extra.

You can serve this on your favorite sandwich bread, rolls, or stuff it in a pita. This is also excellent served with such Indian breads as chapatis, naan, or paratha.

To make this especially party friendly, you can also serve this on crackers for a nice touch.
