Shrimp & Spinach English Muffin Mini Pizzas

I love how simple these Shrimp and Spinach English Muffins are. They are one of my favorite lower calorie meals and they come together quickly. A English muffin makes the perfect miniature pizza crust with all the nooks and crannies they contain… and they are the perfect size.

These babies are not only a delicious meal, but they make for a great party snack or appetizer too. These would be perfect for a Super Bowl Party as well. Just put them out and watch them disappear. You could easily make them vegetarian friendly too by leaving out the shrimp – or change the protein up a bit for different flavor combinations. Chicken and steak are both yummy replacements for the shrimp.

You could even make some steak, some chicken, some shrimp, some meatless – and let guests pick out which ones they would like. (Leftover protein works great in this recipe!)

How do I make these Shrimp and Spinach Mini English Muffin Pizzas?

They are very easy to make!

Here’s the cast of ingredients: (full printable recipe at the bottom of this post!)

  • English muffins, separated (you can use whole wheat, white, etc – whatever your preference is)
  • minced garlic
  • fresh baby spinach (or use frozen spinach that has been thawed & excess liquid squeezed from it)
  • cherry tomatoes, halved
  • diced onion
  • small salad shrimp
  • mozzarella cheese
  • grated parmesan cheese
  • red pepper flakes (optional)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • olive oil

Saute the spinach & onion in a little olive oil until the spinach is cooked & the onions are translucent. Add in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Brush the inside of the English muffin halves with olive oil. Spread the spinach mixture evenly on the English muffins. Mix together the parmesan and mozzarella cheese & sprinkle it over the pizzas. Arrange the shrimp and cherry tomato halves over top. Roasted cherry tomatoes are really good on this too. If I have the time, I will roast some beforehand for these or pull some out of the freezer. I grow a ton of cherry tomatoes in the summer just for roasting and freezing. Love having that fresh roasted summer tomato taste all year long.

Bake on a baking sheet for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Turn it up to broil for 30-60 seconds if you want to brown up your shrimp a little more. Sprinkle the mini pizzas with crushed red pepper, if desired.
