Ingredients:

- 1 pre-made pizza base or homemade dough

- 1/2 cup tomato sauce

- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- Salt, pepper, and dried oregano to taste

3. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle mozzarella over the sauce. Arrange shrimp, bacon, and red onions on top. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and oregano.

4. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
