Slow Cooker Shrimp Boil

Red potatoes, andouille sausage, shrimp, corn, Old Bay. A classic shrimp boil made without any of the fuss right in your crockpot!

This is truly one of my favorite summer meals.

The ingredient list is super simple and you don’t need to do any kind of babysitting. Nope, the crockpot takes care of all the hard work for you, making it perfect for get-togethers and summer entertaining.

Just throw everything right into your slow cooker for about 4 hours, adding in the sausage, corn and shrimp during the last 30 minutes of cooking time to avoid any kind of overcooking. But be sure to use a large enough slow cooker (either 6 or 7 qt) to make sure everything fits.

When ready to serve, crank out some of those ice cold beers, lemon wedges and hot sauce.
