Shrimp Creole (Slow-Cooker)

We love dump and go recipes !  What could be more convenient ? I admit there is one more step, but that should hardly count.

Add the Shrimp 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time and cook until done.

Shrimp Creole (Slow-Cooker)

Using a slow-cooker to cook is always a joy and I especially love my Chili Cowboy Casserole, which is a huge family favorite with everyday ingredients.

We are seafood junkies ! I try to work fish, a mussel pot etc, into our weekly menu as much as I can.

Making the Creole sauce in the slow-cooker, needs no attention at all, simply let the sauce simmer and all the flavors combine slowly, but deliciously.

  1. Hi, could we use frozen cooked shrimp? I have it in my freezer.

  2. I made this for me and my husband tonight! It was delicious! I added chicken andouille sausage to it and it was fantastic. I only used 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes and omitted the tobacco and it was the perfect level of spicy for us. Thank you for such a great recipe!

  3. Jill Snipes says:

    Can frozen shrimp be used …would I add it in like fresh shrimp?

    1. Yes you can use frozen shrimp, Jill ! It will only take a little longer to cook. Add the shrimp and cook about 30 minutes (instead of 15 minutes) or until it is fully cooked

    2. Jill Snipes says:
