So, we're going to put this right at the bottom because we are going to top it with some shrimp. So, I did grab the shrimp that is already cooked. I'm just going to pour the whole bag in there. If I can get em out. So, you don't want to use the jumbo shrimp for this recipe because this will feed a ton of people and we are going to season it very well. So, I like using Italian seasoning for this recipe just because it has so many herbs in there. It's kind of, it's like five six herbs that's in there. You got some oregano, some basil, some thyme. So it just goes really well with the shrimp. We are going to do a touch of Cajun. Not too much but just a little bit to get the spice in there going. We're going to pair that up with paprika. So this is going to give it like a smokey flavor. So I'm going to do a little bit more than I did the Cajun seasoning. And for one last touch here I have some garlic salt. So I am using the unsalted butter. So this garlic salt is going to help a garlic and salty flavor. And last but not least we need to squeeze some lime juice in there. So this lime juice is going to cook with the butter and it's going to give us such an amazing sauce. I like cooking this in a crockpot because you can see how easy it is. You can throw any type of seasonings or any veggies that you want in here as well. But I'm just going to leave it with just the shrimp for right now. So once this is all set I'm going to put the lid on and this is going to cook on high for only about 2 hours. So this is looking ooh all the steamed. This is looking like it's ready. I'm just going to go ahead and trim my crockpot off. So you can see that all the of the butter melted and we have this nice sauce. The shrimp feels super tender so that is exactly what we want. So here I cooked some fettuccine pasta. You can use whatever pasta you want. I recommend like a fettuccine or linguini though for this recipe. You can see I'm kind of scooping it. I want a lot of this pasta water in there. Not too much but just enough. This is really going to help the sauce come along. Just go ahead and throw a little bit more of that pasta water in there. We are just going to start stirring and mixing it in. Pasta water's going to combine with our butter sauce and we're just going to have ourself the most amazing shrimp scampi dinner. And I didn't even know you can make it in a crockpot. I always do this over stove so I'm excited to see how this tastes. But at least for me I like a little bit more lime in mine so I'm going to come back with another lemon. And I feel like this citrus is really going to bring it to life especially at the end because we had it cooked lemon and now we're topping it off with some more. So I'm just going to give this one more stir around and this is ready to serve. So here for a last little touch, I'm just going to throw on some chopped basil that I have and this is just going to it's mainly for looks. It is going to add a little bit of flavor but this is looking so appetizing. I cannot wait to dig in. So I gotta try the shrimp first of course. I mean it has butter, garlic, lemon. I think it's just the perfect shrimp. Now for the noodles. Ooh. Mm. So I did leave these a little al dente so they can have a nice bite to them. And that was such a good idea. This is amazing. Mm.
