    Super Smoke

  • 4

    Remove the meats and the tomatoes from the Traeger and turn the heat up to High. Put a dutch oven or large pan on the grill grate and let preheat for 10 to 15 minutes with the lid closed.

  • 5

    After the meat has smoked, slice the Andouille sausage and toss it along with the chicken and shrimp with the Creole seasoning.

  • 6

    Add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil into the pan on the Traeger and add in the chopped onion, pepper and celery, and let them sauté for about 5 minutes.

  • 7

    Add in the minced garlic, smoked tomatoes, bay leaves, Worcestershire and hot sauces. Stir in rice and slowly add broth.

  • 8

    Cook until rice absorbs liquid and becomes tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.

  • 9

    When rice is just tender, add in shrimp, chicken and sausage. Cook until meat is done, about 10 to 20 minutes more.
