Tips for Cooking Shrimp in Crock Pot:

• Pasta – If your pasta is sticking together, try a little olive oil. This will make it easier to serve the pasta.
• Shrimp in a Crockpot – Cooking the frozen shrimp in the slow cooker doesn’t take long. We used precooked shrimp in this recipe so it only takes a few hours to heat everything together. Cooking time will vary.
• Cook Pasta – When preparing the pasta, make sure to cook to al dente or according to package.
• Serving – Make sure to serve this dish with the scampi sauce. This adds flavor to the dish and we like to dip our breadsticks in it.

Crockpot Shrimp Variations:

• Chicken Broth – Now you can use water instead of the chicken broth if you prefer or forget to buy some. However, I really love the recipe with chicken broth.
• White Wine – It enhances the flavor and really takes the recipe to the next level in my opinion. You can also use white wine.
• Melted Butter – Feel free to drizzle melted butter over the top when serving this dish. It adds flavor and makes the sauce so creamy.
• Hot Sauce – If you would prefer you can add in extra spice to the mixture. We like hot sauce or your sprinkle with some red pepper flakes.
• Shrimp – If using raw shrimp, make sure to cook shrimp in the slow cooker until shrimp is pink.
• Lemon Juice – We recommend using fresh lemon wedges for the best scampi sauce.

This shrimp scampi will stay fresh for up to 3 days if stored properly.

How to Reheat Shrimp:

We recommend reheating the shrimp in the skillet instead of the microwave. If the only option is to reheat in the microwave, heat shrimp scampi in 30 seconds intervals.

Heating in a saucepan or skillet allows for the shrimp to reheat slowly and thoroughly.
