Crock Pot Shrimp Scampi

 I wasn't sure about this recipe, but it works very well and is very easy to make.  I've made this several times and now it's the only shrimp scampi I make.

2 bags of frozen jumbo raw shrimp (peeled and de-veined)
2 sticks of butter, cut into squares
2 tbsp. minced garlic (I used the kind in a jar)
2 tbsp. garlic powder
1 lemon
Fresh chopped parsley (about 1/4 cup)
Olive oil (about 1/4 cup)

Put frozen shrimp into the crock pot. Spread out the butter squares on top of the shrimp.

On top, add the garlic and about 2 tbsp. garlic powder.

Squeeze the lemon on top.   Sprinkle the parsley. Drizzle with Olive Oil.

Cook on high for 2 hours.  Cook your linguini according to the package.

Mix the linguini in with your shrimp.  Serve with Parmesan cheese.

***  Don't get freaked out about shrimp cooking on high for 2 hours.  It takes about an hour just for your crock pot to get up to temperature.  The shrimp will not be overcooked.
