# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken and sliced andouille sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Add diced onion, sliced celery, diced green bell pepper, and minced jalapeño to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables soften, approximately 5 minutes.
03 -
Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and all-purpose flour. Cook while stirring constantly for 1 to 2 minutes to release aroma and eliminate raw flour taste.

Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring. Add drained great northern beans. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook gently for 10 minutes to develop flavors.

Stir in raw shrimp and heavy cream. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked. Serve immediately.
# Helpful Hints:
