This shrimp Creole recipe is easy to prepare and cook in the slow cooker. Serve over hot cooked rice or pasta for a tasty meal. Add diced cooked chicken or turkey or use crawfish in this recipe. This Creole-style etouffee is a similar dish as is this slow cooker garlic shrimp.

The dish is even better when reheated the next day.
