Quoting Sean Dennis to Dave Drum <=-
I'm sure Krab is a close second to the real thing.
Sorry but it simply isn't.
Shrimp is a lot easier for me to get within my budget.
True. I haven't had crab since the last time I was in Vancouver. And
even there it was a special treat. I don't even eat shrimp very
often but stick to local fresh water fish. Shellfish of any kind is
a rare treat around here.

Top layer together
The pesto was inspired by Texafrance Chipotle Pesto, and Mark's
Chipotle Paste.
Combine parmesan, garlic, basil, and oregano in food processor, chop
until parmesan is all chopped up. Add lime juice and chipotles,
blend. Add enough olive oil to make a spreadable paste...
Spread pesto 1/4 inch thick across pizza crusts. Throw on onions and
crawfish meat. Throw on bell peppers, mushrooms, and tomato. Throw on
mozzarella cheese to taste.
Bake at 450 F on pizza pan for 9 minutes. Remove pan and bake
pizzas on open rack for 3 minutes more to crisp up the crusts.
Ya know, capers might be pretty good on this too... There goes
that last pint!
Notes: Our annual Crawfish Boil / Easter Egg Hunt went well this
year, but we ended up with about 20 lbs. of boiled crawdads left
over. This is not a problem! We peeled those mudbugs that night and
froze 6 pints of crawfish tail meat. I have gone through five of
them, experimenting, and one recipe I feel is ready to post. Of
course, soon I will have to boil up some more or substitute steamed
shrimp.
