Living in Louisiana, I have tried my fair share of Cajun food. Some good, some downright scary! But one thing’s for sure: Cajun and Creole food sure is flavorful! So I knew I wanted to make a fun twist on a Cajun classic and make it into a pizza! I decided on Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya because it is loaded with ingredients, full of flavor, but also nice and moist so it wouldn’t dry out on the pizza. Then I added a Old Bay Butter to my Mama Mary’s crust to bump up the flavor even more! Hope you give Cajun a try and make this recipe at home. Let me know what you think!Scroll down to see all five pizzas and comment and vote for your favorite.

I love the Cajun heat from the Andouille Smoke Sausage! When you are heating it in your pot the whole kitchen fills up with a warm, spicy smell and you know you are cooking a Cajun dish, y’all!
