Shrimp Fajita Flatbread Pizza

Do you like to make your own pizza?  Do you just buy frozen pizza or get pizza delivered?

Once in awhile we’ll buy frozen pizza to make dinner easy for a night. Other times we’ll order Papa John’s because we just don’t feel like cooking. Every time my youngest, Elizabeth, sees the boxes, she gets all excited and yells, “Papa!” She definitely knows what Papa John’s pizza looks like.

We’re a big pizza fan in our house. Not all the time, but usually Wednesdays is pizza night. It’s a night that I’ll make homemade pizza. As far as pizza crust, I’ll either buy a large and two small Boboli original pizza crusts or Flatout flatbread.

Sometimes I’ll make a simple pizza such as pepperoni and mushroom. Other times I like to get creative such as buffalo chicken or shrimp fajita.

I’m going to share with you my shrimp fajita flatbread pizza. I love shrimp and fajitas. If you don’t want to use shrimp, you can use chicken as well for the pizza.

Below is my recipe for shrimp fajita flatbread pizza.
