How To Make This Shrimp Boil Recipe:

Before you start cooking this seafood recipe, you’re going to want to prep all of the potatoes, sausage, and corn.

Take the red-skinned potatoes and quarter them to make room in the crockpot. Add the potatoes to the slow cooker.

For the sausage, slice them in thick bite-sized pieces so it cooks evenly with the rest of the ingredients.

Arrange the potatoes, corn, and sausage in a 6-quart slow cooker.

Sprinkle the Old Bay seasoning evenly over the top of the ingredients in the slow cooker.

Take some of your lemons and cut them in half. Squeeze the lemon halves over all of the ingredients and toss them on top of the slow cooker.

Add the water to cover the top of the food and make sure you don’t stir.

Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours until the veggies are almost completely tender.

While it is cooking, take this time to make sure you have cleaned your shrimp and deveined the tail.

During the last 15 minutes, add the shrimp to the pot and stir gently.

Once it’s done, scoop up some of the boiled shrimp into a bowl and serve with some lemon wedges, melted butter, and hot sauce.
