Seafood boil is an umbrella term that describes cooking seafood, usually shellfish, by boiling.

Seafood boils tend to be fuss-free and uncomplicated, making them a popular option for feeding a crowd.

What’s included in a seafood boil and how it’s flavored varies by region.

After two hours, the sausage and corn are added and cooked for one hour more.

The corn is left on the cob but cut into thirds to fit into the slow cooker.

The last addition is the shrimp, which cooks for 15 minutes.

We leave the peels on the shrimp to flavor the broth and keep the shrimp moist.

Mac and cheese or macaroni salad are good too!

One thing not to forget: plenty of napkins.

Cover and cook on HIGH until the potatoes are tender-crisp, about 2 hours.

Drain well; discard the bay leaves and lemon slices.
