Ingredients for America’s Plate
- 1/2 cup chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 more tablespoons
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 2 fresh rosemary sprigs, leaves picked
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (17-ounce) pizza dough ball
- 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 2 red onions
- Small bunch cilantro
- 8 ounces balsamic vinegar
- 12 to 14 colossal gulf shrimp
- 6 lemons, juiced
- 1 pound sushi-grade tuna
- 4 tablespoons salted capers
- Worcestershire sauce
Directions for America’s Plate
- Preheat an oven with a pizza stone to 550 degrees F, if possible. If your oven does not go up to 550 degrees F, preheat it to the highest temperature possible.
- In a small bowl, combine chickpeas, 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, rosemary leaves, and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Roll out pizza dough and spread on a 12-inch pizza screen. Lightly cover the dough with mozzarella cheese and bake for approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until dough is cooked through; the pizza will not be baked again.
- Finely dice red onions and set aside. Chop cilantro leaves and set aside. Reduce the balsamic vinegar in a pan until it becomes thick and paste-like. In a separate bowl, cure the shrimp by squeezing the lemon juice over the shrimp so that all of it is covered in juice. Cut up tuna into bite-size pieces and add to the shrimp and lemon juice cure. Next, add the remaining olive oil, onions, capers, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the cure. Let the cure sit for 5 to 7 minutes. While the shrimp and tuna cures, spread the chickpea sauce on top of the cooked pie. Next, evenly spread the cured tuna and shrimp mixture on top of the sauce. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce on top of the pizza, followed by the balsamic reduction. Finish the pizza with chopped cilantro. Cut into wedges and serve.

- Shrimp – Shrimp are decapod crustaceans with elongated bodies and a primarily swimming mode of locomotion – most commonly Caridea and Dendrobranchiata. More narrow definitions may be restricted to Caridea, to smaller species of either group or to only the marine species. Under a broader definition, shrimp may be synonymous with prawn, covering stalk-eyed swimming crustaceans with long, narrow muscular tails (abdomens), long whiskers (antennae), and slender legs. Any small crustacean which resembles a shrimp tends to be called one. They swim forward by paddling with swimmerets on the underside of their abdomens, although their escape response is typically repeated flicks with the tail driving them backwards very quickly. Crabs and lobsters have strong walking legs, whereas shrimp have thin, fragile legs which they use primarily for perching.Shrimp are widespread and abundant. There are thousands of species adapted to a wide range of habitats. They can be found feeding near the seafloor on most coasts and estuaries, as well as in rivers and lakes. To escape predators, some species flip off the seafloor and dive into the sediment. They usually live from one to seven years. Shrimp are often solitary, though they can form large schools during the spawning season.They play important roles in the food chain and are an important food source for larger animals ranging from fish to whales. The muscular tails of many shrimp are edible to humans, and they are widely caught and farmed for human consumption. Commercial shrimp species support an industry worth 50 billion dollars a year, and in 2010 the total commercial production of shrimp was nearly 7 million tonnes. Shrimp farming became more prevalent during the 1980s, particularly in China, and by 2007 the harvest from shrimp farms exceeded the capture of wild shrimp. There are significant issues with excessive bycatch when shrimp are captured in the wild, and with pollution damage done to estuaries when they are used to support shrimp farming. Many shrimp species are small as the term shrimp suggests, about 2 cm (0.79 in) long, but some shrimp exceed 25 cm (9.8 in). Larger shrimp are more likely to be targeted commercially and are often referred to as prawns, particularly in Britain.
