I keep coming back to Slow Cooker Shrimp Alfredo because shrimp, peeled and deveined, fettuccine or pasta of choice, and heavy cream turn into something rich and hands-off in the crockpot. The slow cooker shrimp alfredo asks for a little prep in the morning and then leaves you alone until dinner.
Simply add the ingredients to your slow cooker, and let it do the work while you focus on other tasks. The result is a comforting pasta dish that the whole family will enjoy.
