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!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb. small red potatoes, halved if larger than 2 inches
  • 5 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup Creole seasoning 
  • 1 lemon, halved, plus wedges for serving
  • 1 1/2 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 12 oz. andouille sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick on the bias
  • 2 ears of corn, shucked and cut into thirds
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Melted butter and hot sauce, for serving

Directions

    1. Step 1Combine the potatoes, garlic, onion, salt, thyme, bay leaf, 2 tablespoons of the Creole seasoning, and 4 cups water in a 6-quart slow cooker. Juice the halved lemon into the slow cooker and add the squeezed halves. Cover and cook on low until the potatoes are tender, 3½ to 4 hours.
    2. Step 2Add the shrimp, sausage, corn, and the remaining 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until the shrimp is cooked through, 30 minutes.
    3. Step 3Remove the lemon halves and bay leaf. Sprinkle the parsley into the slow cooker. Divide among bowls using a slotted spoon. Serve with melted butter, hot sauce, and lemon wedges.
