You should have seen the girls’ faces when I started dumping the food onto the newspaper covered table. “Mommy!!!! What you are doing?!!! The “cool factor” of being able to eat with our hands, off of newspaper,  really enticed the girls to give this new recipe a try.  Score!

How to Make Slow Cooker Low Country Boil
- Start by spraying a  6 or 7 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add in water, beer, Old Bay Seasoning, and garlic.  Stir until well combined.
- Place potatoes, onion  and celery in slow cooker and squeeze lemons over mixture in slow cooker.
- Place lemon halves to slow cooker.
- Cover the crockpot and  cook on Low heat setting 4-5 hours.

Daughter-in-law fixed this over the weekend. It was absolutely fabulous. She was unsure about adding the shrimp for 30 min. I talked her into letting me cook the shrimp in a large skillet. Put in 1 bottle of beer, kept turning shrimp and cooked until pink, then added to the pot and we ate a feast.
Cooking the shrimp with everything else in the crock pot for 30 min. is a good way to ruin good shrimp as one person has already found out and commented on. Shrimp and fish are much the same, DON’T OVERCOOK or you’ll ruin them. Makes the shrimp tough. Ours were perfect
Hi there!!!! This will be the first time I’m attempting this. Do I need to cook the corn first? Or put it in raw?
Thank you!!!!
You should put it in raw Clint 🙂
Ok great!! Thanks!!!
I made this a few years ago and it seemed to be a big hit with my family! Do you think I could get away with doing the first step with the potatoes on high for 2-2.5 hours instead of on low for 4-5? Has anyone tried this to speed up the cook time?
I will be making this this weekend and would welcome any tips you have after making it. I notice alot of people commenting on the shrimp. I bought uncooked frozen in shell shrimp should I stick to what the recipe says or cook them a different way and should I thaw them?
I would thaw them first and then just watch them after you add them in.
