Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1.5 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound andouille sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces

Vegetables

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, rinsed
  • 3 ears fresh corn on the cob, cut into chunks
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, freshly minced

Seasonings & Liquids

  • 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for serving and squeezing)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp if not prepped already. Cut the andouille sausage into bite-sized pieces. Chop the corn into smaller chunks and rinse the baby potatoes. Mince the garlic and slice the onion thinly to layer the flavors.
  2. Layer in the Slow Cooker: Place the baby potatoes and sliced onion at the bottom of the slow cooker as they require the longest cooking time. Add the sausage pieces and corn chunks next. Evenly sprinkle the minced garlic and Old Bay seasoning over the ingredients. Pour the chicken broth on top to cover everything.
  3. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for about 4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
  4. Add the Shrimp: During the final 15 to 20 minutes of cooking, add the shrimp. This prevents overcooking so the shrimp stays tender and juicy.
  5. Finish and Serve: Just before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the boil and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Old Bay if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the shrimp to keep them tender and avoid a rubbery texture—add them near the end of cooking.
  • Use baby potatoes for even cooking and great absorption of broth flavors.
  • Adjust Old Bay seasoning according to your preferred spice level.
  • Layer heavier, longer-cooking vegetables on the bottom for even cooking.
  • Add lemon last to brighten the flavors before serving.
  • Feel free to substitute sausage types or add different vegetables as you like.
