Here's mine-
1 lb linguica
1 lb chicken
1 lb shrimp
1 of each red, green, yellow bell pepper
1 jalepeno
1 bunch celery
1 lg onion
1 bunch green onion
1 lg can diced tomato
1 head of garlic chopped
1 beer
1 c rice
salt and pepper
butter

Cook all vegetables, minus green onions (save till the end). Set aside. Peel shrimp, devein if needed. Cook shrimp peels in veg oil till browned. Add the beer, cook down a couple mins. Drain. Save the liquid, toss the peels. Cook linguica. Add chicken halfway through linguica. Add rice halfway through chicken allowing to suck up the juices. Add shrimp stock. At this point I melt a couple tbs butter in a seperate pan. Add garlic. Cook. Add shrimp. Cook until firm. Add s&p. Back to the main pan, add tomato and their juices. When back to a boil add veggies. Stir. Add another beer or cup of water may be needed. Add s&p. Maybe a tsp of dried oregano if desired. It helps. Remember a little oregano goes a long way. Cover and cook 15-20 mins until rice is done. Rest 5 mins so rice absorbs liquid. Stir. Add shrimp. Add green onion. Stir and serve. Even better on day 2!
