Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8-10 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 Andouille sausage, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Мethod of preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat. Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling. Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then spread the marinara sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the sauce, ensuring even coverage. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining olive oil and Cajun seasoning until well coated. Arrange the seasoned shrimp and sliced Andouille sausage evenly over the cheese. Distribute the bell peppers, red onion, and minced garlic evenly over the pizza, ensuring all ingredients are well spread out. Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, slice, and enjoy your Cajun Shrimp & Andouille Sausage Pizza!
