Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage slices and cook until browned and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.

In the same pot, add chicken pieces. Cook until golden brown on all sides. This adds deep flavor to the base.

Add onion, bell pepper and celery into the pot. Cook until soft and fragrant. Stir often to avoid burning the vegetables.

Add minced garlic and all spices. Cook for one minute. This helps release aroma and makes the dish more flavorful.

Pour crushed tomatoes and chicken broth into the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly and create a rich base.

Add washed rice into the pot. Mix everything gently. Make sure rice is fully covered with liquid for even cooking.

Cover the pot and cook on low heat for 20 minutes. Do not stir too much. Let the rice absorb all flavors slowly.

Add shrimp in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Cook until shrimp turn pink and tender. Avoid overcooking them.

Return sausage to the pot. Mix gently. Turn off heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving for best texture.
