There's not a lot to this recipe either.  Just toss in your ingredients, cover, and cook.

Slow Cooker Shrimp and Sausage

You can use frozen shrimp and it can cook for several hours without issue.  If you use fresh or thawed shrimp, you'll need to toss it in during the last hour.  You can also use peeled or unpeeled shrimp too.  You'll know supper's done when the shrimp are pink and tender.

Just a quick note on shrimp...grey is raw, pink is cooked...white is over cooked.  Pink and curly is your goal.  Your cook time will vary depending on the shrimp size, fresh or frozen and if it's shell on or shell off.  It's sooooo worth watching it the first time to get your time down.  It's yummy!

Any sort of shrimp works for this recipe. It can be frozen, peeled or cooked. Just about any sort works. The kicker is what kind of shrimp you use makes a difference on both when you toss it in the crock pot AND how long it cooks. Size, fresh, frozen and with or without the shell all make your recipe instructions different. No worries! Just read through the directions up top in the post and watch for the shrimp to look pink. Pink is the key. Grey isn't cooked, white is over cooked. Just pay a little attention to the shrimp, make sure your taters are cooked and it'll be awesome.

    I am so looking forward to making this, this is a smaller version of a Low Country Boil, without standing over a heated pot of boiling water. Where I live, ingredients are easy, lot of shrimp here, no red potatoes so will just go with the standard potatoes. I will comment again when I make this.
