Shrimp Creole Slow-Cooker is a dump and go recipe, with only the Shrimp added last for a few minutes. Easy to make, delicious to eat !

We love dump and go recipes !  What could be more convenient ? I admit there is one more step, but that should hardly count.

Add the Shrimp 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time and cook until done.

Using a slow-cooker to cook is always a joy and I especially love my Chili Cowboy Casserole, which is a huge family favorite with everyday ingredients.

We are seafood junkies ! I try to work fish, a mussel pot etc, into our weekly menu as much as I can.

Making the Creole sauce in the slow-cooker, needs no attention at all, simply let the sauce simmer and all the flavors combine slowly, but deliciously.

Shrimp Creole Ingredients :

(scroll down for the full printable recipe)

• 1 1/2 Onions, chopped not too finely, more chunky
• 3/4 cup Celery, chopped into pieces you prefer in a sauce
• 2 tablespoons Garlic, crushed or minced
• 1 Green Bell Pepper, large (or 2 x small), chopped
• 820 grams tin Chopped Tomatoes, ( 30 ounces = 2 x 15 ounce tins ) – feel free to use freshly chopped tomatoes if you prefer
• 2 cups Tomato Puree, ( 16 fluid ounces )
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Sugar, to remove most of the acidity of the tomatoes (use less or none if you prefer)
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes, crushed
• 1 Bay Leaf, remove when serving
• Tabasco, to taste
• 900 grams Shrimp, shelled and deveined ( 2 pounds )

Serve with a Lemon wedge or two. Hubby and I loves adding lemon, however the kids do not.

Serve the Slow-Cooker Shrimp Creole over rice or pasta.
