About 20 minutes before serving, uncover slow cooker, stir in shrimp, re-cover and cook for another 15-20 minutes. Stir contents of slow cooker, sprinkle with chopped cilantro or parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
Two jalapeños will not make this dish real spicy. If you want more of a kick I recommend adding a third jalapeño.
