Slow Cooker Shrimp


So it's definitely been awhile since my last post, but not because I haven't been cooking. This delicious slow cooker shrimp is an easy weeknight classic. Tim loves anything that can be served over rice, and with the slow cooker you don't even have to saute the shrimp. I hope you enjoy!
  • 1 lb shrimp, unpeeled, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, diced
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp seafood seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsps grated lemon peel, plus additional for garnish
  • Cooked rice (for serving)
Coat slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Place shrimp in bottom. Add butter, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, seafood seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Cover; cook on HIGH 1 1/4 hours.
Turn off slow cooker. Stir in 1 1/2 tsp lemon peel. Let stand uncovered 5 minutes. Serve over rice. Garnish with lemon wedges and/or peel, if desired.
