Instructions



1. While dough is rising prepare filling. Slice scallops and pour brandy over them with a little salt and pepper. Cover and let sit in frig about 1 hour.
   
2. Boil water with bay leaf, garlic, lemon and allspice for shrimp. When boiling rapidly put in shrimp and immediately turn off heat. Let in hot water for 10 minutes or until cooked. Rinse in cold water, peel and devein. Slice in half lenght-wise and set aside.
   
3. Slice mushrooms. Heat 4 tbs butter and 2 tbs oil in saute pan. cook shallots on medium high heat for 5 minutes then add mushrooms. Saute for 4 minutes and then remove to plate. Add marinated scallops to saute pan and cook for 5 minutes. Most of butter and oil will be absorbed. Remove scallops to plate with mushrooms.
   
4. Put another 4 tbs butter in pan. Add flour to butter and stir with wire whisk. Cook roux over low heat for 4 minutes stirring constantly. Add any juice which ran off mushrooms and scallops to clam broth and add broth to roux. Stir until thickens. Then add heavy cream and stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes. Add 6 slices gruyere to cream sauce. Melt cheese. [should be nice and thick which will keep the crust from getting soggy] Then add mushrooms, shrimp and scallops to sauce.
   
5. After dough has risen for 1 1/2 hours preheat oven to 450F. Divide dough for 6 individual pizzas. Bush each with oil and spread seafood mix over dough. Top with gruyere and parmesan. Bake 15 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle fresh parsley over top just before serving.
