# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Toss shrimp with seafood seasoning. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp 2 to 3 minutes per side until opaque and curled. Remove and set aside.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add ground beef and pork sausage, breaking meat into small pieces. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and fragrant.
03 -
Add chopped onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic to the browned meat. Cook over medium heat until vegetables are tender and meat is fully cooked.
04 -
Sprinkle oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne evenly over mixture. Stir gently to combine. Add flour and stir well to coat evenly.
05 -
Pour in chicken broth while scraping up browned bits from the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 5 to 7 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
06 -
Fold cooked white rice into the skillet mixture, stirring thoroughly to coat each grain. Continue simmering 5 minutes to warm through and meld flavors.

Gently fold seared shrimp into the rice and meat mixture, taking care to avoid breaking the shrimp. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Serve immediately while hot.
# Helpful Hints:

Use day-old rice or freshly cooled rice to prevent clumping. Toasting spices with meats and vegetables deepens flavor. Gently fold shrimp at the end to maintain tenderness.
