Time 5h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

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
2 medium yellow onions, cut into eighths
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Crusty bread, for serving
3 pounds very small red bliss potatoes (each about 1-inch in diameter)

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.
Remove the lid and switch to high heat. Gently stir in the corn, shrimp, sausage and the remaining 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning. Cover with a lid and cook until the shrimp turn opaque and the sausage is warm through, 30 to 45 minutes. Gently stir in the parsley and lemon juice.
Serve directly from the slow cooker or pour into a large serving bowl and serve immediately with crusty bread.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large sweet onions, cut into large chunks
14-16 ounce(s) smoked sausage, cut in 1 inch chunks
6-8 medium potatoes, peeled (*see note)
4 ears corn on the cob, cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks or halved, your choice
12-16 ounce(s) sm. or med. shelled, tails off, frozen raw shrimp (no need to thaw; *see note)
1 teaspoon(s) louisiana crab & shrimp boil seasoning (*see note)
1 teaspoon(s) louisiana seafood seasoning (*see note)
1/2 teaspoon(s) lemon pepper seasoning
1 can(s) seafood stock (or about 1 pint homemade)
lemon wedges for garnish or squeezing (optional)
crusty french bread for sopping up the juice (optional)

Steps:

Gather and prep ingredients. Place liner in slow-cooker, if using.
Add all ingredients (except optional lemon and bread) to slow-cooker. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on high heat for 3-4 hours, or until potatoes are fork tender.
I prefer to serve this in large bowls so that everyone gets plenty of the delicious juice, and I provide corn holders to stick into the ends of the pieces of corn for those who don't care to eat with their fingers.
*NOTE: You may use unpeeled small red-skinned potatoes, yukon golds etc... If unable to find Louisiana Crab & Shrimp boil, double the amount of the other seafood seasoning. If you like Old Bay seasoning, use that. If you like it spicy, add some cayenne pepper. I give the frozen shrimp a quick rinse under cold water to separate them if they're stuck together.
