I sort of happened on the shrimp thing by accident. Thing is, I pretty much never make pizza that I could just as easily by from my local shop: it feels like a waste of time. So the pizzas I *do* make are always a little different, and the two that I am fondest of are Pesto Pizza and Thai Peanut Pizza. In both cases, the sauce is the star of the show, so I want a relatively mild-flavored Protein Unit. Hence, shrimp tends to be my default choice.

(It's an exaggeration to say I always use it. I do sausage occasionally, and my Peking Duck Pizza proved good enough that I need to do it again one of these days. But shrimp is still the thing I reach for first.)

And yeah, I am going to need to learn to just deal with leftovers. (I have vast amounts of Tupperware and equivalent.) The problem is, I had *just* managed to rebuild all of my cooking habits so that I was cooking the right amount for two, to avoid overeating, so I'm out of the habit of thinking in those terms...
