# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Pour cooking oil into a big pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the diced chicken and sausage slices. Stir now and then until chicken looks golden and is fully cooked, roughly 5-7 minutes.
02 - Throw chopped onion, celery slices, green pepper chunks, and tiny jalapeno bits into the pot. Keep stirring often for about 5 minutes until all veggies get soft.
03 - Add chopped garlic, cumin powder, smoky paprika, chili powder, hot cayenne, and flour. Keep mixing non-stop for 1-2 minutes.
04 - Slowly pour chicken stock while constantly mixing. Add the rinsed beans. Let everything bubble up, then turn down heat and cook for 10 minutes.
05 - Mix in shrimp and thick cream. Let it cook 2-3 minutes more, until shrimp turns pink. Serve while it's hot.
