Ingredients

  • 1 lb Baby Potatoes
  • 1 Onion, sliced thick
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 (12 oz) Beer (or broth/water)
  • 5 cups Low Sodium Chicken Stock
  • 4 Tbsp Old Bay Seasoning, divided
  • 3 Tbsp Creole or Cajun Seasoning, divided
  • 2 ears Corn on the Cob, cut in 4 pieces each
  • 1 lb Smoked Kielbasa (or Andouille) cut in 2.5" pieces
  • 2 lbs Jumbo Shrimp, shell on, deveined, thawed
  • 1 Lemon, cut in half

Instructions

  1. In a 6 qt or larger slow cooker, add the baby potatoes, onion, garlic, beer, chicken stock, 2 Tbsp of the Old Bay, and 1 Tbsp of the Cajun/Creole seasoning.

  2. Cook on Low for 4 hours.

  3. Add the Corn, and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp of the Old Bay, and 1 Tbsp of the Cajun/Creole seasoning.

  4. Cook for 2 hours.

  5. Add the Sausage.

  6. Cook for 1 hour.

  7. Add the shrimp. Sprinkle with the last Tbsp of Old Bay, and the last Tbsp of the Cajun/Creole seasoning.

  8. Cook for 15 - 30 minutes, or just until the shrimp turns pink. Don't overcook it!

  9. Stir well and squeeze the lemon over all of the shrimp boil.

  10. Serve straight from the crock, or remove all but the liquid from the crock and spread out on paper bags on the table.

  11. Fill some mugs with the liquid (we call it pot likker) and let each person have some to go with their serving. Great to dip crusty bread into!
