For a richer flavor, brown the sausage and chicken in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preferred level of spice. Rinsing the rice before adding it to the slow cooker helps to prevent it from becoming too sticky. If you don't have mirepoix on hand, you can substitute with 1 cup of diced onion, ½ cup of diced celery, and ½ cup of diced carrots. For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken, sausage, and shrimp and add 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed black beans and 1 cup of diced bell peppers (any color) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
