Notes:
use sizzlefish wild caught shrimp for best flavor and freshness!
If you want to use fresh shrimp, be sure to watch the crock pot as it will cook faster and you don't want the shrimp to get tough. Keep the juice from the tomatoes if you are using fresh. Then Cook on low and check after an hour. It will probably take no longer than 2 hrs depending on your low setting.
