Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb small red potatoes, halved
  • 4 ears corn, cut into thirds
  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch rounds
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

Method
 

  1. Combine the potatoes, corn, sausage, onion, garlic, Old Bay, paprika, and cayenne in a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and dot with butter.
  2. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours, until the potatoes are tender (LOW 4-5 hours).
  3. Stir the pot, tuck the shrimp into the broth, cover, and cook on HIGH for 15-20 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  4. Scoop everything onto a large platter or serve right from the slow cooker. Spoon some broth over the top and eat while hot.

Notes

This timing is for the HIGH setting. For a hands-off day, cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours before adding the shrimp. If you like extra sauce, double the broth and butter.
