Note

Ensure shrimp are fully cooked before adding to the pizza to prevent overcooking during baking.

If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly before sautéing to prevent a soggy crust.

For a richer flavor, use regular full-fat mozzarella cheese instead of reduced-fat.

These pizzas are best served immediately while the crust is still crisp.
