This gluten-free crockpot shrimp Alfredo contains only simple ingredients and only takes a few minutes to put together.
The recipe:
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (kind from the can)
less then full 16 oz bag pasta of choice (I used about 3/4 bag)

1/2 quart frozen vegetables of choice

How to make gluten-free crockpot shrimp Alfredo
Place frozen cooked shrimp in a colander in the sink. Allow them to thaw slightly then either snip or pinch off the tails.
Put cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic and seasoning salt in the crockpot or slow cooker and mix together.
Add the colander of shrimp, stir and place the cover on.
Cook on the low setting for about four hours.
Towards the end of the cook time, boil several quarts of water on the stove. (This is for the pasta).
When the water boils, add the pasta and frozen vegetables. Cook for about 6-8 minutes or until they are soft. Be careful not to overcook the vegetables, they will get mushy.
Drain everything in a colander and add to crockpot or slow cooker.
Continue to cook on low or set to warm until ready to serve. Add additional salt if desired.

- continue to cook on low or set to warm till severing time. Enjoy!
I made this with a few substitutions, and it was delectable! I did not have heavy cream on hand, so I substituted with some cream cheese, milk and butter. Otherwise, I followed the recipe, and it tasted fantastic! Easy to make, easy clean up, and easily adapted to your preferences.
