What Is a Seafood Boil?
How to Make a Seafood Boil in Your Crockpot
Your crockpot or slow cooker is the perfect vessel for a seafood boil. Its biggest advantage? It supplies steady heat and a cover so you can avoid standing over a large pot of boiling liquid on the stove. For this recipe, you’ll make and flavor the cooking liquid and add the potatoes to the slow cooker first so they can get a two-hour head start. Make sure your slow cooker is set to high and that your potatoes are cut into same-sized pieces so they cook evenly. After two hours, the sausage and corn are added and cooked for one hour more. The corn is left on the cob but cut into thirds to fit into the slow cooker. The last addition is the shrimp, which cooks for 15 minutes. We leave the peels on the shrimp to flavor the broth and keep the shrimp moist.
What to Serve with Slow-Cooker Shrimp Boil
Cornbread, coleslaw or a crisp and crunchy salad are all great options. Mac and cheese or macaroni salad are good too! One thing not to forget: plenty of napkins.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
