Shrimp is really not that expensive when they are on sale.

For 1 lb bag of shrimp, you can get it for $6-$7 or cheaper. They are shelled, deveined, and ready for cooking.

You can use whole peeled shrimp (no tail-on) and they are cheaper.

When you have good shrimp, all you need are some basic ingredients: garlic, honey, salt, cayenne pepper and squirts of fresh lime juice.

      Hi Darla, I don’t recommend making shrimp in a crock pot as they will be way overcooked.
