  1. This recipe looks awesome, I can wait to try it! I just recently became a follower and I’ve enjoyed all the recipes I’ve tried so far, thanks!

    1. Thanks Natalie! That comment made my morning 🙂 XO

      1. Corey – it’s just me and my husband (both senior citizens) and this makes WAY too much for us. Any chance of cutting it in half or even in third with appropriate directions?

        1. Could you just half the recipe and reduce the time a little. So for steps 4 & 5 ( 4. Cover the crockpot and cook on Low heat setting 4-5 hours.

          5. Add sausage and corn, cover and cook 2 hours longer.) I would cook on low for 4 hours and then for step 5, cook fro 1.5 hours. I would keep the last step the same to insure the sausage and shrimp heat through. I hope that helps!

          1. This helps a lot! My husband and I are both in the Pacific North West but we’re originally from the south east. I’ve done country boild in pot before but this slow cooker sounds much more flavorful. Your recommendation for how to do a half batch makes a big diffrence for us, since the standard recipe would be way too much food and not cost effective for just us. Thank your for taking the time to respond to questions, it really helped me. 🙂

    I made this today and blogged about it as part of my Spring Cleaning New Recipe Challenge. It was awesome! I love seafood boil potatoes and corn and loved the malty-ness that beer added to the boil broth. I served the strained broth with French bread for dipping. Everyone in my family loved it…especially my three-year-old son. I really liked the addition of sausage, as well.

    1. YUM! What a great idea to serving bread for dipping. I am so happy everyone loved it Susan!
