# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Lightly coat a 40-centimetre round pizza tray with cooking spray and place the pizza dough onto the tray, stretching to fit as needed.
02 -
Heat a skillet over medium-high. Spray with cooking spray. Season the shrimp with half the Cajun seasoning. Sauté the sausage rounds and shrimp for approximately 2 minutes per side until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Remove from skillet and reserve.
03 -
Deglaze the skillet with red wine, scraping up browned bits. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the onion, green peppers, and celery. Sauté until vegetables are softened, about 2 minutes.
04 -
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the diced Roma tomatoes and remaining Cajun seasoning. Mix well and bring to a gentle boil.
05 -
Maintain a low boil and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes soften and sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning with kosher salt as needed. Continue simmering for an additional 7-10 minutes to create a rich, chunky texture.
06 -
While sauce is reducing, bake the pizza dough in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
07 -
Remove the dough from the oven. Spread the Cajun tomato sauce evenly over the base. Arrange cooked shrimp and sausage on top, then sprinkle evenly with shredded mozzarella cheese.
08 -
Return assembled pizza to the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly to your preference.
09 -
Remove from oven, allow to rest briefly. Garnish with chopped parsley, slice, and serve immediately.
