  1. Combine the Cajun seasoning, black pepper, salt, oregano and thyme.

  2. Mix and toss the chicken with ½ tbsp of the above mixed seasoning in a bowl.

  3. Mix and toss the shrimp with 1 tsp of the mixed seasonings. Save the rest to cook the rice.

  4. Add 3 tbsp oil to a pan over medium heat. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until light brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.

  5. You may add oil to cook the shrimp for 2 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside on a plate.

  6. Add 1 tbsp oil to the pan and sauté the sausage for few minutes until brown on both sides. Remove and set aside on a plate.

  7. Add 4-5 tbsp oil to the pan and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant for 1 minute.
