Step 01
Season shrimp with seafood seasoning. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 02
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add ground beef and ground sausage, cooking until browned and crumbled, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 03
Add chopped onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic to the meat. Cook for 5 minutes until vegetables start to soften.
Step 04
Stir in oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne if using. Sprinkle flour over everything and stir well to coat.
Step 05
Pour in chicken broth and stir to combine. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 06
Add the cooked rice and stir well to combine with all the flavors. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 07
Gently fold in the cooked shrimp and heat through for 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot.
Tips
Use day-old rice if possible, as it holds up better and doesn’t get mushy when mixed with the other ingredients.
Adjust the cayenne pepper to your heat preference – a little goes a long way!
This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together beautifully.
