Instructions

Add shrimp to the slow cooker.

Pour melted butter over the shrimp.

Add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir well to coat evenly.

Cover and cook on low for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until shrimp are pink and opaque.

Stir before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Add red pepper flakes before cooking for a spicy twist.

Do not overcook — shrimp are done as soon as they turn pink and firm.

Serve over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the buttery sauce.

For a dairy-free version, try vegan butter alternatives.
