This dish reminds me SO MUCH of the shrimp we would get down in New Orleans when we would go down to visit family. I was shocked at how easy it was to recreate the same flavors at home!

Slow Cooker Louisiana Style Shrimp Recipe Notes

• We crocked up this rockin’ recipe in our smaller slow cookers– Cuisinart 3.5 Qt Programmable  and Calphalon Digital Slow Cooker, 4-Quart.  Now, you could also get away with using a 2 quart slow cooker. I’d advise doubling the recipe if you want to use a slow cooker larger than 4 quart.
• We used medium sized shrimp (much to Mikey’s dismay–ha!) but you can use whichever size you’d like. You will want to use raw, deveined with shell.
• You will want to make sure you zest your lemon (remove the bright yellow skin with a zester or microplane) before you juice it. This is my favorite hand juicer.
• We serve this dish over our favorite rice– Crock Pot Savory Parmesan Rice (here is an Instant Pot version for you electric pressure cooker folks!)

Great Dinner or Appetizer
