Slow Cooker Garlic Shrimp Recipe

1. Combine the butter, oil, sliced garlic, Creole seasoning, and the black and cayenne peppers in the crockery insert of a slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 25 to 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, peel the shrimp. Run a small, sharp knife down the back of each shrimp. Pull the dark-colored vein out or scrape it out with the tip of the knife. Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and pat dry. Repeat with all of the shrimp.

1. Add the prepared shrimp to the slow cooker and stir to coat them with the oil and butter mixture. 
2. Cover and cook on high for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring about halfway through the cooking time. When the shrimp are opaque and pink in color, remove them to a serving dish and pour the sauce over them. 
3. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve as an appetizer or main dish.

*If the Creole seasoning is salt-free, add about 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, or to taste.
