Aaaaand we’re back! Back in school, back to soccer practices 4 nights a week, homework, play dates, swim practices 3 nights a week starting next week… Anyone else doing the math??? I did and instantly started coming up with more slow cooker recipes for my family.

My little sister lives in North Carolina and summer shrimp boils are a common occurrence. I thought to myself, why enjoy that goodness ONLY in the summer time? Shrimp boils are super simple and take only a handful of ingredients – basically, my FAVORITE kind of recipe.

How few ingredients you ask? I’m gonna tell you:

  • potatoes – you can really use any kind here but new potatoes are great and I prefer red
  • sausage – andouille or kielbasa are perfect
  • corn – about 4 ears does the trick
  • shrimp – a couple pounds of large shrimp
  • chicken broth or stock
  • Old Bay seasoning

OPTIONAL

  • cayenne – if you like a little heat
  • melted butter and fresh parsley to finish it off
  • lemons
  • cocktail sauce is great for dipping!

I’m guessing you have at least half of these ingredients on hand. Even better is the prep. Cut the larger new potatoes in half, quarter the corn, throw everything BUT the shrimp in the slow cooker and let ‘er rip.

This easy Slow Cooker Shrimp Boil is sure to become an instant favorite! Here’s my new measure of success: do either of the boys instantly request this to be on their birthday menu? Guess what? They both said this was the BEST dinner they had had in weeks (???) and that they wanted it again ASAP and of course, on their birthdays 🙂

Both had seconds.

Winner, winner, shrimp dinner.

I had a feeling they were going to like it. They both love shrimp and the flavors are super simple and not overwhelming. It’s easy to eat and fun too. I used a half teaspoon of cayenne. We can handle a bit of heat. If you like things more spicy, add up to 1 teaspoon of cayenne.

Enjoy!

    This is a wow recipe Trish. It is so good and deserves a lovely container to put it in because it is so pretty. I have a large pumpkin bowl that sits on a platter. It has a pumpkin lid. I am 73 and thanks to pinterest and folks like you I get excited about trying new dishes. A new family favorite. Thank you.
