If you’ve ever been to a good old-fashioned Carolina-style seafood boil, you know how much fun they can be. I’m talking shrimp, corn, potatoes, and smoky sausage dumped straight onto a newspaper-lined table while everyone rolls up their sleeves and digs in—it’s messy, it’s delicious, and it’s a total party. Well, this slow cooker shrimp boil brings all that bold, summery flavor without the giant pot or stovetop babysitting. Everything cooks right in your slow cooker—easy-peasy! It’s a mostly hands-off meal that's simple enough for a weeknight (but great for entertaining, too). Serve it up with no-knead dinner rolls, jalapeño cornbread, or a big ol’ bowl of ranch slaw…and don’t forget the cold drinks!
