As someone who’s always juggling work and life, I love recipes that are both simple and delicious.

This Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Garlic Butter Shrimp is a lifesaver on busy weekdays.

It’s inspired by my love for seafood and the need for quick, no-fuss meals that taste like they took hours to prepare.

Perfect for when you want to impress without the stress!

This garlic butter shrimp pairs beautifully with a side of fluffy white rice or a light quinoa salad. For a more indulgent meal, serve it over a bed of creamy pasta.

A crisp green salad with a lemon vinaigrette also complements the rich flavors of the shrimp perfectly.

Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Garlic Butter Shrimp
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Place the shrimp in the slow cooker.

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover and cook on low for 1-2 hours, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

Serve immediately with your choice of sides.

For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.

If you’re a fan of herbs, sprinkle some chopped parsley or cilantro over the shrimp before serving.

You can also substitute the lemon juice with lime for a different citrusy twist. For a more robust flavor, try adding a splash of white wine to the slow cooker.
