Carefully, add half cup of the roux and stir well. Reserve the rest of the roux for thickening later.
Add the sausage and chicken to the pot, and cook until the chicken is cooked through. Add the raw shrimp and cook for another 5 minutes, or until shrimp is cooked through. Add more roux to achieve desired thickness. Taste and add salt and black pepper, as needed. If you like it spicy, add some Louisiana hot pepper sauce.
Serve over cooked rice and top with fresh chopped tomatoes and sliced green onions. Enjoy!
