Brown sausage in hot oil, then remove with slotted spoon and set aside.
Add remaining oil to the pot, sauté chicken until lightly browned, then remove and set aside.
Saute onion, bell pepper and celery until onion is soft and transparent, then add garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds). Stir in tomatoes; season with salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, or Cayenne powder, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and remaining Cajun seasoning.
Stir in okra slices (or file powder), chicken and sausage, then cook for 5 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Add rice and chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium.
Cover and let simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked, while stirring occasionally.
Put shrimp on top of the Jambalaya mixture, stir in gently and cover with lid.
Allow to simmer while stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through and pink (about 5-6 minutes, depending on the size/thickness of the shrimp being used). Season with a little extra salt and pepper if needed and remove from heat.
Adjust heat with more hot sauce, Cayenne pepper or Cajun seasoning.
