# Instructions:
01 -
Start by browning the bacon together with the fresh pork sausage and andouille pieces in a large pot on medium heat.
02 -
Lightly season the chicken with some salt and pepper, then cook it in the pot until browned on all sides. Take all the meats out and set aside in a bowl.
03 -
Toss the chopped onions into the pot and cook until golden and soft. Then add the diced celery, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Stir and cook for a few more minutes until the mixture softens. Return all the meats to the pot.
04 -
Mix in the rice, thyme, bay leaves, paprika, cayenne, celery salt, one tablespoon of salt, and about a teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper. Stir for a couple of minutes until the mix is well blended.
05 -
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken stock, then turn the heat up to bring everything to a gentle boil. Once bubbling, lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
06 -
Season the shrimp lightly with salt and pepper, then stir it into the pot along with the green onions. Turn off the flame, cover it up, and let it rest for 10 minutes so the heat can finish cooking the shrimp.
07 -
Take off the lid, fluff up the dish with a fork, and enjoy it while it's still hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Parboiled rice (sometimes called converted rice) has some nutrients from brown rice and works great here. You can swap it with plain long grain rice if you want.
