Steam the shellfish in a little lightly-salted water with a drizzle of olive oil until the shells open. Discard any shellfish that haven't opened then remove the meat from the shells and set aside.
Turn the dough onto a lightly-floured work surface and roll into a 25cm diameter circle. Transfer to a greased baking tray then using your thumb and forefinger roll the edges of the pastry to form a rim. Cover and allow place in a warm spot to raise for 10 minutes. Cover the surface with the salsa pizzaiola, going almost to the edge.
Top the pizza with the shellfish and prawns or calamari followed by the chopped tomatoes. Sprinkle the shredded basil over the top then cover with the grated cheese. If desired you can add a few of the shellfish shells for garnish.
Place in an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake for about 18 minutes, or until the edges of the base are golden and crisp. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
