2. Over medium high heat add 2 tbsp oil and cook shrimp on each side 2-3 minutes until they make a nice 3 shape. Remove from pan.
3. In a large skillet add 1 tbsp oil and then ground meats. Once the meats begin to brown add in onions, peppers and garlic.
4. As soon as meat is fully browned add in seasonings. Next add in flour, stirring well. Add in broth and simmer 5-7 minutes.
5. Add in rice and simmer another 5 minutes or so. Add shrimp back in.
