Shrimp and Pineapple Party Pizza

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 40 min. + marinating Bake: 20 min. + standing YIELD: 24 servings.
This flavor-packed appetizer is a sweet, smoky, savory sensation! If you are traveling with this pizza, parbake the crust and assemble the pizza at home, then finish the baking on-site. When that's not possible, it is still delicious at room temperature! If you're not a seafood fan, substitute chicken for the shrimp. —Jamie Miller, Maple Grove, Minnesota

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 pound uncooked shrimp (31-40 per pound), peeled and deveined
  • 1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened pineapple tidbits, drained and juice reserved
  • 6 thick-sliced bacon strips, apple- or maple-smoked
  • 1 small green pepper, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) spreadable chive and onion cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, unfold pastry sheet; cut in half. Roll each half into a 10x6-in. rectangle. Place on a baking sheet. Fold under 1/4-in. of edges to form a rim. Prick center of pastry with a fork. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet. Bake until crust is golden, about 12 minutes. While pastry is baking, marinate shrimp in juice from pineapple tidbits.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until crisp, about 12 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Reserve 1-1/2 tablespoons drippings.
  • 3. Heat 1 teaspoon of drippings in skillet over medium-high heat; cook pepper until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from skillet. Drain shrimp; add to skillet with remaining bacon drippings. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until shrimp turn pink, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in hoisin sauce.
  • 4. Spread cream cheese over puff pastries. Scatter shrimp evenly over cream cheese. Sprinkle bacon and green pepper over shrimp. Using paper towels, squeeze pineapple tidbits dry; scatter over pizza. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • 5. Bake until crust is browned and cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. Let stand briefly before cutting each pastry into 6 rectangles. If desired, top with addition Parmesan cheese.
