Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds peanuts raw, in-shell, not roasted!
  • water
  • 3 tablespoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning (optional - basically a mix of salt, different peppers, garlic and other spices)
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Instructions

  • Thoroughly rinse peanuts and then place in the bottom of the slow cooker. Fill with water about three-quarters of the way to the top. The peanuts will float at this point.
  • Sprinkle the salt and other seasonings on top. Turn slow cooker to high and cook for 6 to 7 hours, stirring occasionally to mix in the floating peanuts on the top.
  • Drain and serve warm or refrigerate for up to 4 or 5 days. Great to have on hand for hungry house guests!
