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

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:
- Prep the slow cooker: Lightly grease the insert or use a liner for easy cleanup.
- Add the ingredients: Place the raw shrimp in the slow cooker. Top with sliced butter and pour the Italian dressing evenly over everything.
- 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!
- Serve: Stir gently, then spoon shrimp and buttery sauce over rice, pasta, crusty bread, or grits. Garnish with lemon and fresh herbs if desired.
