Ingredients
  

For the Pizza Dough
  • 1 Ready-made Pizza Dough Feel free to use homemade dough for a fresher taste.
For the Toppings
  • 12 oz AIDELLS® Cajun Style Andouille Sausage Offers a smoky flavor and hearty protein; any smoked sausage works too.
  • 1 lb Shrimp Main protein that adds a succulent touch; substitute with chicken or other seafood if desired.
  • 2 tbsp Cajun Seasoning Blend Enhances the flavor profile; adjust according to your preferred level of spice.
  • 1 tsp Cooking Spray Prevents sticking on the pizza tray; olive oil can also do the trick for greasing.
  • 1/2 cup Red Wine Adds depth to your sauce; chicken broth is a great non-alcoholic alternative.
  • 1 Onion, Green Peppers, Celery (Holy Trinity) Essential for sauce flavor; using a mix of bell peppers adds vibrant color.
  • 2 cloves Fresh Garlic Provides aromatic depth; mince finely for best flavor impact.
  • 2 cups Roma Tomatoes Primary ingredient for the sauce that contributes freshness; canned diced tomatoes are a quick substitute.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley Used for garnish; alternative option is green onions.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Jambalaya Pizza
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a 16" pizza tray with cooking spray. Stretch the ready-made pizza dough to fit the tray.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté slices of Andouille sausage for about 2 minutes until they start to brown, then add seasoned shrimp and cook for another 2 minutes until pink.
  3. Pour in a splash of red wine to deglaze, then add diced onion, green peppers, and celery, cooking for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Then add diced tomatoes and the Cajun seasoning blend; bring to a boil and simmer for 7-10 minutes until thickened.
  5. Transfer the stretched dough to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.
  6. Spread the thick tomato sauce mixture over the crust, then evenly distribute the sausage and shrimp, followed by shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  7. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top, let cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve.
