Growing up on the East Coast, I was no stranger to a seafood boil. Weather it be clams in New England, crab on the Chesapeake Bay or crawfish in New Orleans, there was always a reason to throw seafood into a pot and have a feast. Now your slow cooker can cook up this fun and delicious meal! It's the perfect meal for your next summer party! I have three rules for a shrimp boil: 1) serve it right on top of the table, using newspapers as a tablecloth. 2) bring beer. 3) have fun with it! It's the perfect outdoor party meal!
This no fuss shrimp boil is great. It's as easy as throwing everything in a slow cooker, minus the shrimp, corn and Old Bay. Let your slow cooker do it's thing while you go about your day. The sausage will add a meaty and amazing smoky flavor (smoked sausage or kielbasa works great) and whole lemon will add a fresh zing. And don't forget to add the beer! It'll add a great flavor to your broth. Finally, add your shrimp, corn and seasoning in the last hour to avoid overcooking. Now you're ready for a shrimp boil!
