Shrimp and Bacon Pizza Recipe

Bacon seems to go good in almost anything and this Shrimp and Bacon Pizza is no exception. I took a short cut with this one and used store-bought refrigerated pizza dough. This is not your traditional style of pizza with the pizza sauce, which did make me a little uneasy while preparing it.

For some reason omitting the sauce just didn’t seem right – but don’t let this fool you, this Shrimp and Bacon Pizza has a delicious combination of flavors and is really simple to put together.

The next time you put pizza on the supper menu give this Shrimp and Bacon Pizza Recipe a try; it’s delicious. Adapted From Cooks Country Magazine
