Ingredients

1/4 cup seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
2 large ears yellow corn, husked and cut in to 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 pounds large, deveined, shell-on shrimp
8 ounces kielbasa, halved lengthwise and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
2 bay leaves

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

Put the potatoes, garlic, bay leaves, onions, 2 tablespoons of the seafood seasoning and 4 cups water in the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir to combine. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours.

LEMONY SHRIMP AND BEAN STEW

Lemony Shrimp and Bean Stew image

With minimal prep and a quick cook time, this shrimp stew feels elegant for such an easy weeknight meal. You can also take the dish in a number of directions: Substitute the shrimp with an equal amount of flaky white fish or even seared scallops, or stretch the dish into a meal for six by stirring in some butter and serving over cooked spaghetti or rigatoni. A good glug of your best olive oil would also be a welcome.

1 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
2 garlic cloves, grated
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound peeled, deveined large shrimp (tails removed)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 large leeks, trimmed, then halved lengthwise, white and light green parts sliced crosswise 1/2-inch thick (or 1 large onion, minced)

In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. When butter is foaming, add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and starting to curl, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a plate; set aside.
Add leeks, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium until leeks are soft and starting to brown on the edges, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add beans and chicken broth and bring to a boil over high. Lower heat and simmer, 8 to 10 minutes.
