  • Total Time: 5 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4 (up to 6 depending on appetite)

Ingredients

1 pre-made 9″ graham cracker crust (6 oz)

⅓ cup sweetened shredded coconut

1 packet coconut cream instant pudding mix

Milk (as required for the pudding mix)

Whipped topping or whipped cream

Instructions

  • 1 ½ lb red potatoes, quartered

  • 1 small head garlic, peeled

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 6 cups water

  • ¼ cup Old Bay seasoning

  • 1 Tbsp hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s)

  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 1 lb smoked andouille sausage, sliced

  • 3 ears corn, cut into thirds

  • 2 lb raw shrimp (tails removed)

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

  • ¼ cup butter, melted (optional)

  • 3 Tbsp fresh minced parsley (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Place potatoes, garlic, and bay leaves into a 6-quart slow cooker.

  2. Pour in water, Old Bay seasoning, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Stir, cover, and cook on high for 2 hours.

  3. Add sausage and corn, cover, and cook on high for another 2–3 hours until potatoes are tender and corn is cooked.

  4. Stir in shrimp, cover, and cook on high for about 15 minutes until shrimp turn pink—do not overcook.

  5. Drain most of the liquid. Optionally drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley.

  6. Serve directly from the crockpot or transfer to a platter with lemon wedges.

Notes

    • For variations, you can swap in crawfish or crab. Add them at the end as they cook faster.

    • If using the “low” setting, add corn during the last 2–3 hours and shrimp in the final 30 minutes to avoid overcooking.

    • Use vegetable or seafood broth for added flavor, or a garlic butter drizzle for extra richness.
