Put Raw Shrimp in a Slow Cooker with These 3 Ingredients — It’s Seafood Heaven

If you thought the slow cooker was only for stews and roasts, think again. One of the easiest and most flavor-packed seafood dishes you’ll ever make starts with just raw shrimp and three simple ingredients — and yes, it all comes together in your slow cooker.

This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights, lazy weekends, or when you just want a fuss-free dish that tastes like it came straight from a coastal restaurant. It’s rich, buttery, and infused with bold flavors that soak into every bite of shrimp.

Ready for seafood heaven? Let’s get started.


🍤 The 3-Ingredient Magic

You only need three powerhouse ingredients to make this dish unforgettable:

1. Raw Shrimp

Go for peeled and deveined shrimp (tails on or off—your choice). Medium to large size works best.

✅ Tip: Frozen shrimp works too — just thaw before adding.

2. Butter

Butter is the base that gives this dish its rich, silky texture. It melts down into a luxurious sauce that coats every shrimp perfectly.

3. Italian Dressing

This might surprise you, but store-bought Italian dressing is the ultimate shortcut to flavor. It brings zesty herbs, tangy vinegar, and a touch of sweetness that balances the butter beautifully.


🧑‍🍳 How to Make Slow Cooker Shrimp Heaven

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ lbs raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 cup Italian dressing (your favorite brand)
  • Optional: lemon wedges, fresh parsley, red pepper flakes

Instructions:

  1. Prep the slow cooker: Lightly grease the insert or use a liner for easy cleanup.
  2. Add the ingredients: Place the raw shrimp in the slow cooker. Top with sliced butter and pour the Italian dressing evenly over everything.
  3. Cook:
    • On LOW for 1.5–2 hours, or
    • On HIGH for 45 minutes to 1 hour
      Shrimp should be pink and opaque when done. Avoid overcooking!
  4. Serve: Stir gently, then spoon shrimp and buttery sauce over rice, pasta, crusty bread, or grits. Garnish with lemon and fresh herbs if desired.
