Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb raw (green) peanuts in shell
1 pkg (3 ounce) dry crab boil (such as zatarains's)
1/3 c chopped jalapeno peppers (or use canned peppers with brine)
1/4 c cajun seasoning
1/4 c cayenne pepper
1/4 c red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1/2 c salt

Steps:

  • 1. Place the rinsed in-shell peanuts in a slow cooker with all other ingredients.
  • 2. Add enough water to cover & stir.
  • 3. Since the peanuts will float until they are cooked a bit, place a heavy saucer inside the slow cooker to weight them down for the first few hours.
  • 4. Turn the slow cooker on low, cover and allow to cook. After 4 or 5 hours, remove the saucer and add water if needed.
  • 5. Continue to cook for a total of 24 hrs or until the peanuts are soft. Drain, serve hot or room temperature.
