4 - Still in the same pan, pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the Cajun mix, panfry over low heat for 1 minute, then add the onion, celery and bell pepper. As soon as the mixture begins to become translucent, add the chorizo, the garlic and the chopped pepper. Fry everything for 3 to 4 minutes.

6 - Add the prawns, the chicken pieces, the rest of the tomatoes and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. If there is too much liquid, let it reduce over high heat, if your rice lacks cooking, add a little water. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, add Cajun spices if you wish.
