Preparation

Step 1

Melt the butter and saute the onions, celery, and peppers over medium heat in white wine until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, chicken and sausage, sauteing until the chicken is cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients except the rice and bring to a boil. Add the rice and cover the pot with a tight fitting lid. Bring to a boil again, and then turn off the heat and allow the stew to sit until the rice absorbs all of the liquid, about 20 minutes. Fluff the stew with a fork and serve hot
