Shark Attack Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Slice the orange that fits in the rim of a lowball or rocks glass into four 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Use your thumb or the tip of a paring knife to create a small whole in the center of each orange round.
• Cut the second orange to create 4 thick wedges. These represent shark fins. Push each shark fin wedge into the center of an orange round.
• In a large cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the tequila, limeade, lime juice and blue curacao. Shake vigorously and strain into 4 serving glasses.
• Place a shark fin orange garnish into each serving glass, making sure the orange round rests on the surface of the drink.
• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the grenadine over each shark fin garnish. As it drips into the blue cocktail, it represents the blood of a shark attack. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the punch: Combine the lemonade, rum and curacao in a large pitcher and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
• For the decorations: Thoroughly wash and dry a 1 1/2-gallon fish bowl, some non-toxic aquarium plants and 12 plastic sharks.
• Rinse the rock candy with cold water, put it in a large resealable plastic bag and lightly crush with a meat mallet to make gravel. Pour the gravel into the fish bowl and add the aquarium plants, anchoring them with the gravel. Arrange some gummy sea creatures on top of the gravel. Freeze the bowl while the punch chills, at least 2 hours.
• To serve, gently pour the rum mixture into the fish bowl, taking care not to disturb the plants, followed by the seltzer. Put a gummy fish in the bottom of each glass and ladle in punch. Pour about 1/2 teaspoon grenadine into the mouth of each plastic shark. Have your guests dive their sharks headfirst into their glasses in mock attack.

Steps:

• Combine the lemonade, rum, vodka and curaçao in a pitcher. Add ice and the gummy sharks, then pour in the seltzer.
• Divide the drink among glasses. Drizzle some grenadine into each.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of oven. Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Draw a shark face on a sheet of parchment paper that fits on a full-sized sheet tray. Trim the outline with scissors and set aside.
• Position one full sheet tray horizontally and unroll 3 cans of pizza dough so that they are vertically side by side. Press and stretch to fit the entire sheet tray, pressing the seams together. Poke all over with a fork and brush with olive oil.
• Bake 7-10 minutes, rotating pan halfway, until cooked and bottom is golden brown. Let cool.
• Unroll remaining can of pizza dough onto a quarter sheet tray. Poke all over with a fork and brush with olive oil. Bake 7-10 minutes, rotating pan halfway, until cooked and bottom is golden brown. Let cool.
• Place the shark stencil on top of the large crust and trim with a paring knife. Transfer shark to a parchment-lined sheet tray.
• Using a printed fish template, trim 8 fish from the smaller crust, and any leftover scraps. Transfer to a separate parchment-lined sheet tray.
• Cut Provolone cheese into various sized triangles for teeth.
• Add black olives to a food processor and pulse until ground. Remove two tablespoons and set aside. Add about ½ can of pizza sauce to the carafe and blend together until smooth. Transfer mixture to a piping bag.
• Spread about 1 ½ cans pizza sauce over the shark crust. Top with shredded mozzarella and pepperoni.
• Spread four fish crusts with alfredo sauce. Top two with corn. Top the other two with sautéed bell pepper.
• Spread two fish crusts with tomato sauce and top with roasted red pepper. Spread two fish crusts with pesto sauce.
• Bake the shark pizza for 7-10 minutes, rotating halfway, until cheese is hot and melted.
• Trim away the mouth part of the shark stencil you drew. Place the shark stencil over the shark pizza and pipe the olive-tomato paste into the mouth area. Spread into a thin layer with a small offset spatula.
• Shape the reserved black olive paste into two eyes and position onto pizza.
• Position the cheese "teeth" in the mouth area. Outline the mouth with sriracha and add a little bit on some of the teeth to resemble blood.
• Bake the fish pizzas for 5 minutes, or until heated through. Garnish roasted red pepper pizzas with sriracha. Garnish pesto pizzas with basil and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with the shark pizza.

Steps:

• In a large pitcher, combine all the ingredients and stir to mix. Pour into rocks glasses and garnish with additional maraschino cherries, if desired.
