Hazel's Crockpot Thursday

George made this the other night for us and it was quite yummy. I wasn't sure about seafood in the crock, but this was pretty easy and tasted yummy. I don't usually like any crock recipe that we have to fry something first (because really, what is the purpose of the crock if you gotta do work...grin)...Here we go:

Shrimp Creole

INGREDIENTS:

¼ c. butter
1 onion, chopped
¼ c. buttermilk biscuit mix
3 c. water
2 6-oz cans tomato paste
2 tsp salt
Dash pepper
½ tsp sugar
2 bay leaf
1 c. celery, chopped
1 c. green pepper, chopped
4 lbs shrimp, shelled
Hot cooked rice


DIRECTIONS:

Sauté the onion in the butter in skillet. Add biscuit mix and stir. Combine all remaining ingredients except shrimp and rice in crock. Add skillet mixture to slow cooker. Cover; cook on Low 7-9 hours. One hour before serving, turn to High and add shrimp. Serve over rice.

Enjoy!

I've never tried seafood in my crock pot either. The only meats I cook first is hamburger. This sounds really good.

I'm the same way about frying first - I love the one-step recipes, but this sounds yummy! Too bad my husband is allergic to shrimp :(
