Tips for Making Cajun Shrimp and Andouille Pizza

This pizza is designed to be quick and easy so, I wanted you to know it’s perfectly OK to reach for a tube of pizza dough from time to time.

• Ingredients you’ll need to make Cajun Shrimp Andouille Pizza: One 13.8 ounce tube of refrigerated thin or classic pizza crust dough or 1 pound homemade pizza dough, olive oil, fresh andouille sausage casings removed, aw shrimp peeled and deveined, tails removed, Cajun seasoning, shredded pepper jack cheese, prepared fire roasted pizza sauce i.e. Classic or your favorite, grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: 12-14 inch pizza pan, sharp knife and cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, pizza wheel and cheese grater.
• You can make this pizza in a large cast iron skillet or on a sheet pan.
• Should you choose to make your own, naturally, I highly recommend my recipe for homemade pizza dough.
• Keep in mind that shrimp cooks very quickly. The purpose of giving them a head start in the skillet is for flavor. They’ll cook fully in the oven, so, just give them a quick toss in the sausage drippings.
• If you’d like, sliced onion or peppers would be a tasty addition to this Cajun flavor combination.
• Cajun seasoning varies in heat and sodium from brand to brand. Adjust the amount in the recipe depending on the brand you choose to use. Both Tony Chachere’s and Zatarain’s have Cajun and Creole options that are readily available in most grocery stores.

• Store Cajun Shrimp Andouille Pizza chilled in the fridge or up to 3 days.
• Gently reheat in an air fryer or microwave.
