Very tasty pizza that was surprisingly quick to make if you take the eaasy way out as I did and use a prepared crust! I've never eaten mango and shrimps together but enjoy both so was curious how they'd be together: in a single word, YUMMY! Having zero tolerance for anything spicy, I omitted the red pepper flakes. Loved the red and yellow bell peppers with the shrimps and mango. I did add minced garlic - for me a must-be-included ingredient - rosemary and thyme (among my favourite herbs) and, for us, the blend of flavours worked wonderfully well. Thank you, breezermom, for a very different pizza that I'll certainly be making again. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.

This was excellent, like a Caribbean version of a Hawaiian pizza. The family's only complaints on this were a) there wasn't enough, and b) I needed to chop the ingredients. Big slices of fruits and veggies make a beautiful pizza, but it's a little hard to eat. :) I loved the combination of flavors. I used my homemade Recipe #228052 for the sauce, fresh mozzarella slices, and a Boboli crust, as you recommend. Definitely a good choice. Now I see that I will have to make a stock of Recipe #37455 to keep in my freezer for next summer, when mangoes, peppers, and shrimp are all in season! Thank you very much for posting. Made for ZWT5, for the Groovy GastroGnomes.

What a great twist on pizza! The blend of flavors was lovely. Since it was just me, I used a tortilla to make a small thin crust pizza and took CraftScout's advice to chop the toppings for ease of eating. Thanks for sharing!
