In two separate skillets, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. To one pan, add the red bell pepper, ½ cup Holy Trinity mix, 1 tablespoon each garlic powder and cajun seasoning, and ½ teaspoon oregano. Add shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. To the other pan, add the remaining ½ cup Holy Trinity mix, 1 tablespoon each garlic powder and cajun seasoning, and ½ teaspoon oregano. Add sausage and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Spread tomato sauce on pizza dough, leaving a border, and scatter ½ cup mozzarella on top. Top with shrimp mixture, then sausage mixture, and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella. Bake until cooked through and crust is golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
