Combine all ingredients except shrimp in your Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. Add shrimp and cook an additional 30 minutes. Serve over rice. Can it really be that easy? The shocking answer is yes.

A couple of notes: Feel free to substitute ingredients liberally. Maybe crab instead of shrimp or andouille instead of smoked sausage. If you like some extra heat, kick up the cayenne powder, hot sauce and Cajun seasoning. Some people get adventurous and serve this dish over pasta instead of rice.
