Shrimp Pizza, made the Italian way. A simple baked crust topped with an easy red sauce, cooked shrimp and salad. Pizza night never tasted so good.

I have to admit sometimes Italians make me say hmmmmm! For example the first time I went into a bakery (forno) or Pizzeria and I saw this shrimp pizza, I wasn’t very interested.

I was more interested in the traditional Mozzarella and Red Sauce Pizza.

But my youngest daughter loved this pizza and would always order a slice.

Then one evening I remember going to our friend’s house for dinner and she made a shrimp cocktail Italian style. She tossed some small shrimp in a bowl with what they call Salsa Rosa or also known as an Italian Cocktail Sauce.

And what exactly is Italian Salsa Rosa / Cocktail Sauce?

It is a simple combination of mayonnaise and ketchup mixed together. A two for one combo.

At first when I was told what it was I was kind of iffy about it. But holy cow it works.

And then my daughter also reminded me that, that is what they use to make a Shrimp Pizza which she absolutely loves and couldn’t I please, please, please make one?

And make one I did! This is probably the easiest and I have to admit tastiest pizzas I have yet to make or eat.
