Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Dice the vegetables and proteins. Dice the onion, celery, and bell peppers. Slice the sausage into rounds and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Set aside. Add the diced vegetables, sausage, and chicken to the slow cooker. Stir to combine. Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Sprinkle in the Creole seasoning and cayenne pepper (if using).
2. Set the timer and cook on high for 3–4 hours or low for 7–8 hours. One hour before the cooking time ends, add the rice. Stir to ensure it is submerged in the liquid. About 15 minutes before serving, add the shrimp. Make sure they are fully submerged in the broth to cook evenly.
