Preparation

Step 1

Cook vermicelli to desired doneness as directed on package. Drain; keep warm. Heat oven to 350. Spray 12 inch pizza pan or 13x9 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. In large bowl, combine hot vermicelli, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt; mix well. Fold in 3 eggs. Spread mixture evenly in spray coated pan, forming a rim around edge. Bake at 350 for 12 to 15 minutes or until set. In medium saucepan using wire whisk, beat whipping cream and 4 egg yolks until well blended. Cook over medium low heat until mixture comes to a boil, stirring constantly. Add 1 cup parmesan cheese, sherry, 1/8 tsp garlic salt and pepper; cook and stir until mixture thickens. Remove from heat; cover and set aside.

Melt 2 Tbsp butter in large skillet over medium high heat. Add onions, bell pepper and garlic; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp tender. Add vegetables and mushrooms; cook and stir 5 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are crisp tender. Add seafood to skillet; cook 2 to 3 minutes or just until seafood becomes opaque. Fold sauce into seafood mixture. Pour over pasta crust; top with mozzarella cheese.

Bake at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese melts. Broil for 2 to 4 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. If desired, garnish whole pizza with cooked butterfield shrimp and fresh basil or garnish individual servings with additional cooked shrimp, scallops and paprika.
