To make

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, green and red bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for 3—4 minutes stirring often to prevent burning. Add rice, cook for 4 minutes, stirring regularly. Add shrimp, chicken, and sausage, cooking for an additional 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, chicken stock, okra, and all remaining ingredients. Stir together and bring to a boil; turn heat down to low, cover and simmer for 10—15 minutes, until rice is cooked.

Remove from heat and stir to mix. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Serve and enjoy!
