Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Soak rice in chicken broth, sherry, and water.
  2. Place sliced sausage on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, and place in oven set to broil. You want to achieve a nice crispy char to the edge of the slices. Just keep tabs on it while you're doing the next several steps, because this won't take long. You don't want to burn it! When it's done just remove and set aside.
  3. Over med. heat, begin to saute half of the garlic.
  4. After garlic is heated, add sausage, ham, and chicken.
  5. Begin to saute onion and green bell pepper in a whole stick of butter over med. heat on a separate burner. Just continue to watch your veggies and turn off the burner when they've reached that nice golden color and are slightly tender.
  6. Add sliced chilies to meat mixture -you may start to cough a little.
  7. Bring soaked rice to a boil on a separate burner. When liquid begins to boil, add bay leaves, the remaining garlic,and the last stick of butter, then reduce heat to simmer and cover.
  8. After meat mixture is thoroughly browned, add the sausage that you had set aside from the oven, spice to taste with seasonings, and add entire bottle of Guinness...well, minus a good sampling for yourself, of course.
  9. Bring beer to boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cover for five minutes.
  10. Uncover meat mixture, add shrimp, and raise heat so that the beer can boil off a bit. At this point you may want to sample a bit of the mixture and decide if you need to season a bit more. I usually end up adding a bit more salt and cajun seasoning.
  11. Taste test the texture of the rice to make sure that it is cooked through.
  12. When the rice is tender enough, the meat mixture should be thickened. At this point you can add the meat mixture and peppers and onions to the rice, and stir thoroughly. Try to find and remove the bay leaves. No big deal though if one turns up in a serving. Just tell that friend they're a winner.
  13. Bring it to the table in your favorite serving dish with a bit of attitude, serve and enjoy!
