Nothing says summer more than the beach.  Unfortunately…well, I don’t want to say unfortunately, because it HAS been great, our summer has been packed full of weddings and mini trips that DON’T include the beach.  So, how do we bring the beach to us?  Seafood!

Crockpot Seafood Boil

Six years ago, pre-kiddos, we went on a lovely trip to Monterey, CA to visit with relatives that we don’t see often enough.  One night, our hostess made an AMAZING seafood boil.  There were LOTS of us, so there was LOTS of it!  She served it in one of the largest, most beautiful bowls I had ever seen.  The memory of the steam rising up from the bowl and the amazing smell of summer is so vivid that I feel like it happened yesterday….those of you with foggy mom-brain like myself knows that this is very rare. 😉

My husband and I agree that it was one of our all-time favorite meals.  For that reason, it is one of our favorite meals to share with everyone we love.  Since we love crockpot cooking so much, we’ve adapted it for our favorite appliance.  I hope that you love it as much as we do and that it transports you to the beach no matter your location.

How did the shrimp turn out? Not overcooked? I so want to try this recipe but I wonder if the shrimp could be added to
the last half hour instead since they cook so fast. Biggest Fan of your blog, btw 🙂
