Description

Irresistible Slow Cooker Shrimp Boil for Effortless Feasts

Ingredients

Scale

1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
8 cloves garlic (peeled and smashed)
4 leaves bay leaves
1 lb baby potatoes (halved)
3 cups low-sodium seafood broth
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp celery salt
6 tsp Old Bay seasoning (divided)
2 ears corn (cut into 4 pieces)
12 oz andouille sausage (sliced on a bias 1/2″ thick)
1 lb large shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tail-on)
1 lemon (cut into 8 wedges)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

In your trusty slow cooker, add the chopped onion, smashed garlic, bay leaves, halved potatoes, seafood broth, white vinegar, mustard seeds, celery salt, and 4 teaspoons of Old Bay seasoning. Cover and cook on high for about 1 hour.
Stir in the corn pieces and sliced andouille sausage, mixing well. Cover again and let it cook for an additional 2 hours.
Uncover the cooker and give everything a gentle stir. Season the shrimp with 2 teaspoons of Old Bay, then add the shrimp and 4 lemon wedges to the slow cooker. Cover and continue cooking on high until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 10 minutes more.
Carefully strain the shrimp mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or colander into a medium pot. Return the shrimp and vegetables to the slow cooker. Bring the liquid to a boil, cooking until reduced by about half, which should take 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until melted.
Pour the buttery mixture over the shrimp and veggies in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with the remaining lemon wedges.
