Directions:
Use a large pot and heat over medium-heat. Once pan is hot place bacon and cook until crispy.
Remove bacon pieces with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Add celery, bell pepper, and onion to the bacon drippings, and cook until tender.
Add the chicken, ham, and sausage to the pot, and pour in the tomatoes, beef broth and chicken broth.
Season with thyme and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, and add the rice. Bring to a boil once again, then turn the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the rice is tender.
Stir in the shrimp and bacon just before serving, and heat through.

Personal Notes:
I use frozen cooked shrimp, tail removed. I also add red pepper flakes to spice it up.
For a healthier version I use chicken sausage.
