This slow cooker 4-ingredient garlic butter shrimp is the kind of weeknight recipe you lean on when you’re tired but still want something that tastes like you planned ahead. You literally pour melted butter and three pantry-friendly ingredients over a bag of frozen shrimp in the slow cooker, turn it on, and walk away.

Garlic butter shrimp shows up in many coastal cuisines—think scampi in Italy or buttery shrimp boils in the American South—but here we’re stripping it down to its essentials so it works in a busy Midwestern kitchen on a Tuesday night.
Serve the garlic butter shrimp spooned over hot cooked rice, buttered egg noodles, or a bed of creamy mashed potatoes so all that garlicky butter has something to soak into. A simple green side—steamed broccoli, roasted asparagus, or a crisp salad with a tangy vinaigrette—keeps the plate balanced.

If you enjoy a bit of crusty bread, it’s perfect for mopping up the sauce. A light white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio pairs nicely, but sparkling water with lemon is just as refreshing alongside this rich, buttery dish.
