Slow Cooker Low Country boil is full of potatoes, corn, sausage and shrimp flavored with lots of spice. So easy and convenient to make in a slow cooker.
Once the warm weather hits, it seems like there’s a picnic or potluck nearly every weekend. One of my favorite meals to make for sharing and eating outside is a good ‘ole Low Country Boil. Potatoes, smoked sausage, corn, and shrimp are slow cooked with lots of spices. Low Country Boil is perfect for the slow cooker. The longer it cooks, the more flavor it soaks up from the spicy cooking liquid.
How To Make
The potatoes get added first since they take the longest to cook. Just enough water to cover, lots of seasoning, and a few slices of lemon get added to the slow cooker with the potatoes.
Depending on the size of the potatoes, you’ll cook them for 4 to 5 hours on LOW.
Next add in the sausage and corn and continue to slow cook for a few more hours.
And finally, the shrimp go in for just about 30 minutes.
Slow Cooker Low Country Boil Recipe Tips
For easy clean-up, use a slow cooker liner.
For even easier clean-up, serve this Low Country Boil outside on a picnic table covered with newspapers. If you want it a little spicier, sprinkle it with a little cajun seasoning.
For extra flavor, add 3 minced garlic cloves when you add the potatoes and/or t tablespoons of butter and two sliced green onions when you add the shrimp.
How To Serve
Serve with melted butter and/or cocktail sauce. And of course lots of cold beer.
