They like them with a very thin, crispy pastry base rather than a yeast bread base."

Steps:
- Roll the pastry to 1/4"/5mm.
- Mix the finely chopped chilli with the sun-dried tomato paste or finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes and spread all over the pastry. Look for the tubs of sun-dried tomato pesto beside the regular basil pesto in the fridge section of your supermarket. It makes a great tasty pizza sauce.
- Bake in a hot oven (200C or 400F) for 8 minutes.
- Zest and juice the lime.
- Combine the shredded crab meat, lime zest, lemongrass and a little of lime juice.
- Slice the mozzarella into about 6 slices.
- Remove the pastry from the oven and scatter the crab mixture and mozzarella slices over the top. Add a grind of black pepper and salt to taste.
- Put back in the oven for about 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
- To serve, scatter the rocket over the pizza while still hot. Thin the mayonnaise with the rest of the lime juice and drizzle over the rocket.

- Top with imitation crab meat and onion.
- Lightly sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
- Top with swiss and cheddar cheeses.
- Top cheeses with the snipped basil.
- Bake at 425F (Pyrex) or at 450F (metal) for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and immediately slide pizza onto a wire rack so the crust doesn't sweat!
- Cool for 10-15 minutes, slide the pizza back onto the pizza pan and cut into 8 pieces, with a pizza cutter.
- Three-four pieces with a green salad is plenty for two-three persons, or as an appetizer for a few folks!

Tips:
- When preparing the crab meat, ensure it is fresh, free of shells or cartilage, and flaked into small pieces. This will create a better texture and flavor in the final dish.
- It is important to use a high-quality pizza dough for the best results. You can either make your own dough or purchase pre-made dough from the store.
- For the ultimate crispy crust, preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza. You can also use a pizza stone or baking sheet to help achieve a crispy crust.
- Be generous with the toppings, but not so much that the pizza becomes soggy. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of toppings per 12-inch pizza.
- When baking the pizza, keep an eye on it to ensure it does not overcook. The crust should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted and bubbly.
- For the rocket salad topping, use fresh, tender rocket leaves and dress them lightly with a simple vinaigrette. This will add a refreshing touch to the pizza.
Conclusion:
This crispy crab pizza with rocket salad topping is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of fresh crab, creamy cheese, and crispy crust creates a truly delightful dish. Serve it as a main course or appetizer, and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite.
