Slow Cooker Low Country Boil Recipe

Living here in the South, there are certain things that are just part of our food culture. Grits. Scattered, Smothered, Covered, Chunked & Topped (you really have to try it once). Fried Chicken. Fried Pickles. Ok anything fried. Brunswick Stew. Sweet Tea. Shrimp & Grits. And of course, Low Country Boil. Low Country boil is a staple in the South but it is also great summer food (or really a year round food) and normally cooked outside, but because my family loves this meal, I wanted to find a way to cook it inside in the colder months. I had success cooking it in the slow cooker and my family has loved it ever since! I've even started cooking it in the slow cooker during the summer. Besides the crockpot this recipe can easily be modified for the Instant Pot. We hope that you love this Slow Cooker Low Country Boil Recipe.
