    Two crockpots, both filled with a shrimp bowl.  Once crockpot is a mini that is portable.

    Crockpot™ Slow Cooker Shrimp Boil.

    A summertime seafood boil always tastes better when picnicking next to a large body of water. There is something about the location that stimulates all your senses (smell, sight, touch, taste, even sound) and creates the ultimate experience to enjoy this classic meal of well seasoned potatoes, sausage, shrimp, corn, and onions.

    While all the ingredients (except the shrimp) simmer away in the Crockpot™ 3-Quart Manual Slow Cooker for a few hours, we pack up our tablecloth, napkins, forks, drinks, sunscreen, hats, etc.

    Ingredients for a shrimp boil are laid out beside two crockpots.

    The shrimp is tossed in for 20 minutes, then the meal is divided into our Crockpot™ Lunch Crock® Food Warmers. The 20 oz size makes them the perfect size for individual on-the-go meals. While the Seal & Store Lids, ensure our portions will not spill in transport. Once, they are securely packed into the back of the car, and plugged in to keep everything warm, as we head off to our favourite picnic spot right beside by the water.

    An easy to clean tablecloth and lots of napkins are key to creating the perfect experience as you dig in with your hands, to peel the juicy shrimp and clean the kernels off the mini cobs!
