Instructions
Place chicken and shrimp on skewers and coat with Char Crust Amazin' Cajun.
Brush with olive oil & cook on an indoor grill or outdoor grill until done. About 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
Brown sausage in a Dutch oven or large pan; remove with slotted spoon and set aside.
Add some olive to pan if needed and sauté the onion, bell pepper and celery until onion is soft and transparent. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds).
Stir in the tomatoes; season with salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes (or Cayenne powder), hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and the remaining Char Crust Cajun seasoning. Stir in the okra slices and sausage. Cook for 5 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Add in the rice and chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium. Cover and let simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked, while stirring occasionally.
Place the shrimp and chicken on top and stir gently.
Season with a little extra salt and pepper if needed and remove from heat. Adjust heat with extra hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately with sliced green onions and parsley.
