In a cast iron skillet or dutch oven heat up a drizzle of grapeseed oil over medium high

To the pan add in the chopped onion and celery with a little pinch of salt for about 2 minutes

To the pan add in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, just a few seconds

Add in the chunks of chicken and cook until the chicken starts to sear a little bit, about 2 minutes. Don’t worry- it won’t be fully cooked through yet

After the chicken has a sear on it add in the chopped chorizo. Cook for another minute

Add the chopped red pepper and saute another minute

Add in the Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Stir to coat all of the veggie and meats in the spices and tomato pasta. Cook this for a minute

Add in the rice and stir so it is all coated

Add in the crushed tomatoes and chicken stock. Stir to combine and let it come to a boil

Once it comes to boil turn it town to medium low and put a lid on it. Let it cook for 20 minutes, checking and stirring every 5 minutes or so- so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom

Add in the chopped okra, put the lid back on, and cook for 5 minutes

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Nestle the shrimp in the rice and put the lid back on. Let it cook for about 5 minutes until the shrimp turn white and slightly curl

Once done sprinkle the top with chopped scallions and give it a big squeeze of lemon. That’s it!!! The best dinner ever
