Learn how to make shrimp tacos in the crock pot! The easiest make-ahead dinner with minimal prep, the slow cooking method locks in flavor and spice while preserving nutrients. Pair them with gluten free low carb tortillas for a meal everyone will love!
Shrimp Tacos – New and Approved!
A longtime favorite, these crock pot fire roasted shrimp tacos were originally published on the site in 2015 and have been a hit ever since! However, in order to continually provide you all with the best cooking (and tasting) experiences possible, we’re constantly testing and updating old recipes.
So, we’ve given this post a bit of an upgrade, making it better than ever. Don’t worry, though! We kept all the flavor and made these shrimp tacos even easier to make.
Simple Shrimp Taco Recipe Ingredients
Feel free to adjust the ingredients below to fit your spicy preferences. For instance, you could add a dash of hot sauce or red chili flakes for spicy shrimp tacos. Either way, you probably already have most of what you’ll need waiting on hand!
- Medium Wild-Caught Shrimp – Both fresh and frozen shrimp can be used as long as they are peeled, deveined, and their tails have been removed first.
- Oil – Olive oil or avocado oil work best as they pack in tons of omega fatty acids while being neutral enough in taste so as not to negatively impact the flavor of the rest of the ingredients.
- Onion & Garlic – In addition to providing vitamins and nutrients like vitamin B and potassium, onions help provide a slightly sweet, umami taste to these crock pot tacos.
- Fire Roasted Stewed Tomatoes – Sweeter than other types of tomatoes, the roasting process helps release the natural sugars that pair with the warm spices to create an irresistible sweet and spicy taste.
- Salsa – For the best texture, we prefer chunky salsa, but any red kind you have on hand is fine! For those who like spice, use hot salsa!
- Bell Pepper – Loaded with vitamins and nutrients including vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium, bell peppers become slightly caramelized and sweet once cooked.
- Herbs & Spices – Crucial to creating the unique taste we’re looking for with these shrimp tacos, we include a variety of herbs and spices including salt, pepper, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika (or cayenne pepper), minced garlic, and cilantro.
Pro-Tip: To boost the flavor profile even more, finish off your shrimp taco recipe with a few extra toppings like chopped green onions, sour cream, avocado or guacamole, red onions, cotija cheese, greek yogurt or crema, or jalapeño pepper.
How to Make Shrimp Tacos in the Crock Pot + Video
Below is a brief overview of the steps we took to make our shrimp taco. Be sure to take a look at the full recipe below, and watch it in action before you begin!
- Layer the raw shrimp in a single layer at the bottom of the crock pot.
- Drizzle oil on top.
- Add the veggies and seasonings, and stir to combine.
- Cook on low for 2-3 hours or on high for up to 2 hours.
- Add the filling to tortillas, and top it all off with a squeeze of fresh lime juice!
Note: Check on your shrimp after an hour if cooking on high. If they look like they’re close to being done (almost pink), change the setting to low. Then, continue to cook for another 30-60 minutes.
Bonus Instant Pot Option!
Thanks to the testing of one of our wonderful readers, Cortney, we have an Instant Pot version of this recipe, too! It’s just as tasty as our crock pot method but a whole lot faster.
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté, and add the olive oil. Then, let the garlic, peppers, and onions sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pot along with extra water or broth (about ⅓ to ½ cup), keeping the liquid that comes with the tomatoes. Pressure cook for 1 minute, and finish by letting the Instant Pot quick release.
- Note – The extra liquid from the tomatoes will prevent the shrimp and veggies from burning in the Instant Pot. However, once your shrimp are done cooking, there will be extra liquid (tomato juice/broth) to drain off once ready to serve. We recommend reserving that liquid to then cook extra flavorful rice or quinoa in the Instant Pot!
Cooking Tip: For the best results, keep your shrimp partially frozen, because they cook fast!
The Best Tortillas for Crock Pot Tacos
Honestly, the best tortilla is your favorite! However, we have a few suggestions.
- Coconut Flour Tortillas! Our favorite option, these homemade tortillas are made with just 5 ingredients for an egg free, gluten free, vegan, and low carb option that’s paleo friendly, too.
- Sprouted Corn Tortillas or Blue Corn Tortillas. Easy to find at the store, white or yellow corn tacos are naturally gluten free and provide a crunchy texture that pairs perfectly with the soft shrimp and veggies.
Serving Suggestions
These tacos can be paired with all your favorite side dishes for a Mexican-inspired feast great for feeding a crowd! Some easy options include:
- Coleslaw or apple slaw
- Mexican Cauliflower rice
- Homemade Baked Tortilla chips and mango salsa
Common Questions
If doubling the recipe, we recommend cooking the shrimp on low for 3-3.5 hours or until they are no longer opaque.
We haven’t tested it, but it should work! We suggest adding them to the crock pot for the last 20 minutes of cooking.
If kept on warm for an extended period of time, the shrimp may become a bit rubbery. However, the juices should prevent them from overcooking.
If you can’t find fire-roasted tomatoes at your local grocery store, feel free to replace them with a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies for a similar taste!
Yes, this recipe will stay fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days. When you’re ready to eat, we recommend letting it warm in the crock pot to prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery.
Crock Pot Fire Roasted Tomato Shrimp Tacos
- Total Time: 2 hours 5 minutes
- Yield: 4-5 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Description
These Crock Pot Fire Roasted Tomato Shrimp Tacos are easy to make and full of Mexican-inspired flavor for a healthy meal everyone will love. Serve them in gluten free tortillas!
Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed (fresh or frozen then thawed) (see notes below for fresh shrimp)
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (about ½ to ⅔ cup)
- 14.5 ounce can fire roasted stewed tomatoes (diced work best)
- ½ cup chunky salsa
- kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder or ancho chili powder (see notes for substitutes)
- ¼ teaspoon paprika or cayenne pepper
- 2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro (extra for plating)
- Optional toppings – chopped green onion, sour cream, avocado, jalapeño pepper, etc.
- Tortillas to serve (gluten free corn tortillas or grain free low carb tortillas)
Instructions
- First, prepare the shrimp if they are not already thawed. If using frozen shrimp, quickly thaw in water for 10 minutes before peeling. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
- Layer the shrimp at the bottom of the crockpot/slow cooker. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on top. Add the garlic, chopped onion and bell pepper, and toss to combine.
- Add the drained canned fire roasted tomatoes, salsa, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and paprika to the crockpot. Mix together until seasonings are well combined with shrimp and vegetables.
- Place slow cooker (crock pot) on low for 2-3 hours or on high for 90 minutes to 2 hours. Stir once, about halfway through cooking.
- Check on shrimp after about 1 hour of cooking on high. If they look almost done, place on medium for another 30 minutes to an hour.
- Shrimp are done and cooked through once opaque, looking similar to that of steamed shrimp.
- Serve with gluten free tortillas and fillings/toppings of choice. Ex: chopped green onions, avocado, jalapeño, and extra cilantro to garnish.
- These tacos are best enjoyed right away. See notes for storage tips.
Notes
Filling Tips – For thick taco filling be sure to use a chunky salsa with lots of vegetables, not a pureed or restaurant style salsa. If you don’t have chili powder, you may use a taco seasoning or other Mexican seasoning of choice. Be sure there are no added gluten-containing ingredients.
Storage/Meal Prep Tips – If not serving right away, let the shrimp taco filling cool then store in an airtight container in fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. To reheat, warm taco filling on medium low on stove top or place back in slow cooker on warm setting. For instant pot version, see blog post.

Did you enjoy this easy shrimp tacos recipe? Do you have any remaining questions? Let us know in the comments below!
Catherine McCrystal
I do not have fire roasted diced tomatoes but do have diced tomatoes or diced tomatoes in pure. is there something that I could use to have the roasted taste?
Sammi (Cotter Crunch Test Kitchen)
Hi Catherine! When using regular diced tomatoes add smoked paprika or salsa, to taste. Just know the flavor is going to be a little more bland than using fire roasted tomatoes. 🙂 Keep us posted!
Elizabeth hoerman
This recipe sounds divine. However, I can’t eat tomatoes due to the fact that they make me quite sick. I can replace the regular salsa with salsa verde….but the canned tomatoes??? Any ideas for a replacement?
Lindsay Cotter
Can you have bell peppers? Maybe try canned pimento or roasted bell peppers? Or I’ve had a few people with nightshade allergies use diced mango! keep me posted if so!
Kim
I made this for my family and everyone inhaled the tacos! It has so much flavour and the ingredient combination is heavenly. Thanks for a great recipe!
Lindsay Cotter
Awesome! So glad! Thanks for feedback Kim!
wilhelmina
These tacos are super delish! We have added these to our summer meal rotation, taco Teusday just got an upgrade!
Paula K
Words can’t even describe how amazing this was. Packed with flavor!!
Julliya
This recipe is looking so delicious and yummy and the way you explained the steps of recipe is well explained.. thus post will be very useful for me to taste some new recipe..
Thank you for shearing this article to us
Radwa @ Healthy Life Trainer
Yummy! amazing recipe. I love shrimps so much; sure I will try this.
Lindsay Cotter
Hope you enjoy! Thanks!
Madeleine Cassidy
My husband and I are going to make this tonight for dinner. When you say 3-4 T of cilantro, 2-3T for garnish, do you mean I need 3-4 T of cilantro but reserve 2-3T for garnish? Or do you mean I need 3-4 T of cilantro for the cricket pot and an additional 2-3 T for garnish?
Lindsay Cotter
I actually add 3-4 in the recipe and then extra to garnish. Hope that makes sense!
Cortney
I decided to be brave and test out an Instant Pot version of this and it was AHHMAZING! I toned down on the super spicy seasonings so my kiddos could enjoy.
Turn IP on sauté with olive oil and toss in the bell Pepper and onion I only did this for a minute or two! I left the shrimp partially frozen as the IP cooks it fast!!
Leave the juice in with the tomatoes as you need the liquid, throw everything else in and I added 1 cup of water (you may get away with less because mine turned out a little juicy but i didn’t mind..set to pressure cook for 1 minute. When the minute is up quick release!
Pair with Cauliflower Spanish rice! Delicious!!
Lindsay Cotter
Oh I love this! can I add this to our recipe notes and credit you?
Cortney Foster
Absolutely!!
Laralee
Do I need to increase cooking time if I double the recipe?
Lindsay Cotter
are you using fresh or frozen? I don’t think you need to double the time but it might take a little bit longer if using frozen.
Laralee
I bought them from the seafood counter at the grocery. They were previously frozen, but were thawed when I bought them. Medium size.
I ended up cooking them on low for about 3 hours. They were pink when I unplugged for transport to friends with a new baby. The crockpot was off for about an hour before I turned it on warm for another 20 minutes. The shrimp were PERFECT! (I only mention the extra time because I’m sure they kept cooking after I unplugged.)
So, I would suggest to anyone doubling:
-cook on low for 3-3.5 hours and they’ll be ready to eat.
-I used 1 green bell pepper (diced) and 5-6 fresh jalapenos (cut long ways, de-seeded) instead of a 2nd bell pepper. The batch of jalapenos I got were not super spicy (but you never know what you are going to get). I highly suggest this to anyone who likes spicy food (I do this in homemade spaghetti sauce too).
Lindsay Cotter
Oh good to know! Thanks Laralee! Hope your friend enjoyed it too.
Dee
Can you use already boiled shrimp on low?
Lindsay Cotter
I haven’t tried it but i think it would work, or you could add them the last 20 minutes of cooking.
Natalie
Hi there, this looks soooo good! Prepping this tonight for tomorrow’s dinner but had a question. I work until 6pm. If I put the shrimp on a timer to cook the recommended time of 2 hours on low.. will they overcook if kept on warm for the rest of the day? Thanks!
Lindsay Cotter
Hmmm, that’s a great question! If you use frozen shrimp, it may be okay. The juices should help prevent it from being too rubbery, but I am not entirely sure, I’ve never tried that before 😉 how long would it be on “warm” for?
Ruth A Rodgers
Absolutely delicious! Definitely will make again but will serve over rice as there was just sooo much liquid. (Yes, I drained the fire roasted tomatoes.) Almost a sloppy Joe version of a taco! Terrific flavor and wonderful spice combination. The squeeze of lime with all the condiments brings it to its glory!
Thanks Lindsay, for a great recipe!
Lindsay Cotter
Thank you ruth! I’m thinking you could possibly add rice to the slow cooker to help absorb juice, but haven’t tried it yet. Love the flavor there too! 😉
Maura Chancey
These were the best last night! Got nice big wild caught shrimp at my local Fresh Market store in Hingham, served them with tortillas that said they were better for enchiladas so we could stuff more in then served them with guacamole, shredded mexican cheese and sour cream – yum, with a mexican rice on the side! YUM!
Lindsay Cotter
Woohoo! That sounds so fantastic, I’m glad it was a hit!?
Maura E Chancey
It was such a hit because my husband loves to eat and I like E-A-S-Y since we both work full time. I am always nervous trying new things especially in a crock pot and I think it’s because you’re not actually standing there “watching it cook” like a burger or a steak or even a lobster! LOL! Needless to say, OMG, the best ever. So good, my husband was talking me about it again today at lunch when he came to meet me on my break!! A true saver and so ridiculously easy! I even did the normal spices versus the taco seasoning. Oh and because I LOVE garlic, I laughed at your 1 tsp of minced garlic and put in like 2 Tablespoons! Thank you so much!!! 😀
Lindsay Cotter
this is the best story ever!! Love the feedback Maura. Haha, and the lunch break talk. and yes, bring on the garlic. 🙂
Amy
Is thawing the shrimp absolutely necessary, or can I put them in frozen?
Lindsay Cotter
that should work! no need to thaw.
Monica
I didn’t have fire roasted tomatoes so I used a can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies and it still turned out AMAZING!!! The shrimp were so perfectly cooked ??? I will 100% make this again (and again and again)!
Lindsay Cotter
Oh yay! Thank you monica for the feedback!
Sam
Luv the recipe. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Holly
I made this for some friends that were passing through town last night… and we all loved it! I wanted to find something that I could throw in the crockpot and have stay warm, as we didn’t know their exact arrival time. With the shrimp and taco shells (we used street style soft taco shells roasted over the stove) we cut up avocado, had shredded Mexican cheese, fresh sliced tomatoes, different sauces, etc. I also made a cilantro lime rice for a side dish. I will make this recipe again, again and again!! SO YUMMY!! (And EASY! MAJOR BONUS!)
Lindsay Cotter
Oh I am so glad! What a fun dinner party and thank you so so much for taking time to report back. I love it Holly!
emily
I made the version found here: https://www.sizzlefish.com/blogs/shrimp/crockpot-roasted-shrimp-tacos, but still delicious. I omitted the onion (not in the other version), bell pepper, and cilantro (I didn’t have those ingredients on hand and forgot to buy some), used fresh raw shrimp, 2 Tbsp salsa, and drained some of the juice from the tomatoes. Kept all other ingredients and cooked on high for an hour. I served on street-style corn tortillas with avocado and chevre cheese. Light, easy to throw together, no heating the house with the oven, and delicious. Didn’t even miss the omitted ingredients. Will definitely be making again.
Lindsay Cotter
Oh that’s wonderful to hear! did you see this recipe first or the one on sizzlefish? I post that one a long time ago there and updated it new here. Both delish. Love the swaps you made!
Kristie
Used leftovers to make shrimp nachos with queso fresco. Sooo good!
Lindsay Cotter
OMG that’s genius! Haha gotta try that.
Erin
Shrimp tacos are the best! These look insanely good!
Jennifer Blake
Love the seafood twist from the standard meat taco! Shrimp is one of my favorites.
Gaby Dalkin
These have me counting down the days until Taco Tuesday!!!
Emily Swanson
Wow I didn’t know that the slower cooker keeps more of the nutrients in; right now we have a crockpot ham and cabbage stew going. 🙂 These tacos look BOMB.com!
Lindsay Cotter
YOu’d love these emily!
Karly
I love tacos! These look amazing! Can’t wait to try!
Lindsay Cotter
Thank you Karly! Let me know if you give them a whirl. 😉

Natalie @ A Fit Philosophy
I’m doing a Mexican Fiesta themed housewarming party and this will be perfect!! Super easy crockpot recipe – perfect for entertaining guests! Thanks for sharing!
Cotter Crunch
wonderful! keep me posted!! and congrats.
Meredith s.
I made this tonight and really enjoyed it! It felt very light, clean, and healthy. I added 1/2 onion, a zucchini, and extra garlic. Next time, I may try adding a few jalapenos or red pepper flake because I like it hot! 🙂 I served it over quinoa and topped it with cilantro and cotija (instead of going the taco route). Yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
Cotter Crunch
Well that sounds divine! I’ll have to try that too! Thanks Meredith
jill conyers
Where have I been and how did I miss this? This recipe rivals my recent shrimp taco recipe that’s the new favorite in the Conyers’ house.
Cotter Crunch
no yours was EPIC!! We need a taco tuesday date
Paula
coincindentally I just pulled out some shrimp from the freezer not knowing exactly what to do and wouldn’t you know it this recipe popped up on my Pinterest feed. Colors look beautiful, ingredients fragrant, and easy peezy in a crock pot — this is a winner. I just happen to have all but one ingredient so yup I will be trying this tomorrow!
Cotter Crunch
let me know if you try or if you need any substitutions Paula! xxoo
Robyn @ Simply Fresh Dinners
Oh my gosh, Lindsay, if I were to dream up my perfect meal, this would be it! I’m a total shrimp addict, love fire roasted tomatoes and of course, I’m all about fresh, simple and easy!
Love the heat, the fresh cilantro – a great recipe all around. Thanks for giving me a reason to finally buy a slow cooker, lol.
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend, friend!
Cotter Crunch
I should send you a crock pot! They are the best inventions ever! haha
Maggie
Just saw this on Facebook and I have to hop over to read the recipe! LOVE these photos. The idea of cooking frozen shrimps in crock pot is genius! I haven’t yet convinced Thomas to get a crock pot, but now I know I can with this recipe! Sharing everywhere of course 🙂
Jess @hellotofit
Oh my oh my oh my. I’ve never seen shrimp in the crock pot!! This looks so incredibly tasty.
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets
I wouldn’t mind a daily taco habit. In fact, if it weren’t so hot, I’d scurry right on down there.
It’s getting cooler here so my crockpot will be coming out to play soon. Usually the first fall recipe in it is chili. I might need to switch that up to these tacos.
Dani @ Dani California Cooks
This looks AWESOME. I love finding new slow cooker recipes that aren’t just shredded chicken, even if it is super versatile. I love how fresh and easy this is!
Jody - Fit at 57
Your food is beautiful & pics too! I have no crockpot! 🙁
Cotter Crunch
you need one! great for chicken and so EASY! <3
Shashi at RunninSrilankan
Well – Atlantan’s have tacos everyday too …well, most everyday at least…though sometimes, I skip the tacos and just dig a spoon into whatever was supposed to be the filling! And I think I must be psychic, cos I see myself digging my spoon into this crockpot too! I love your combo of shrimp with stewed tomatoes, salsa, and cumin, among others!
Brittany
I haven’t ever cooked shrimp in my crock-pot but I love the looks of this recipe!
Cotter Crunch
it’s my new fav! so easy peasy
Krysten
All of your Mexican inspired dishes this week are speaking to me! Get in my pregnant belly!
Cotter Crunch
you should move here for 9 months! i’ll feed you!
Noelle @ Noelle's Notebook
Yum! These look so good! My favorite crockpot meal is probably a Mexican seasoned pulled chicken… it’s stupid easy and delicious! Either that or just your traditional pot roast.
Also, I thought you’d appreciate knowing this-just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary with the Mr. and he cooked me scallops for the first time ever! So romantic!
Cotter Crunch
yay for scallops! did he eat them too? and congrats on 4 years!
Jen @ Chase the red grape
Ok as soon as we buy a crock pot here in Australia I will be making this! So easy and I love it! Also thinking it would be an amazing filling in a sweet potato!
Favourite crockpot recipe is nomnompaleo’s kalua pig – you should totally check it out! I know you would love it!
Cotter Crunch
ohh i so will! thanks! sounds awesome already
Blair
I just printed out this recipe so that I could remember to make it next week! You have combined two of my family’s favorites (shrimp and tacos) in my favorite appliance — the slow cooker! 🙂 It doesn’t get much better than that!
Cotter Crunch
yes, love that slow cooker! The best! keep me posted on how yours turns out
Laura @ This Runner's Recipes
Your recipes are genius! Shrimp tacos were my favorite as a child. Every day should be Taco Tuesday.
Cotter Crunch
oh i love this! childhood favorites are the best as an adult! haha.
GiGi Eats
I will swap in scallops and my life will be complete!
Cotter Crunch
and add squash? yes?
Meredith s.
Hi there! Love the idea of adding squash or zucchini! If I do,do you think I would need to increase any of the seasonings/ liquid/ peppers? Sorry, I know those types of questions are annoying. 😉 I just didn’t know if the original recipe has enough extra liquid. I think I’ll try this out this weekend!
Cotter Crunch
never annoying. i would keep the juice from the tomatoes then. If you use the canned. It should be good! Keep me posted.
Michelle @ Running with Attitude
I would have never thought to cook shrimp in a crockpot. My son just walked by my computer and said “Wow that looks good!” Guess what I’ll be making soon 🙂
Liz
Yummy! I don’t eat shrimp but my boyfriend loves it. Crockpot anything is the best!! Gonna have to try this one 🙂

Sarah
Can you please come cook for me this week? I’m craving fresh home cooked food and finding it really hard to get time in the kitchen. Add in stress and it’s even more important I know to eat well but oh so hard.
Cotter Crunch
we need a getaway together where we can just relax and cook!
Helen @ Scrummy Lane
Ahhh … how wonderful! To be honest, I haven’t had too much success with my fairly recently acquired crock pot, so I think I need to branch out a bit more this coming ‘crock pot season’ (although why not use it year-round?) Just love the idea of these tacos … so far from my idea that everything from the crock pot is in a watery brown sauce!
Cara's Healthy Cravings
What a great go-to meal for any time of the year!
Also, your food styling and photography on this post is beautiful!
(thumbs up!)
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table
I swear to you I am going to bust out Vegas’ crockpot when we get done with our trips. This looks amazing. We’re all about seafood tacos here. 🙂
Lisa @ RunWi
I live for my slow cooker and bow down in her presence- she’s like having a sister wife, now if she’d only do laundry I’d let her take our last name. I just bought shrimp at a Costco road show- I was going to make shrimp cocktail to nosh on all week, but this might be a better use for those beauties. So easy!
Tara | Treble in the Kitchen
I’ve never made shrimp in the crock pot, but it sounds like a great idea!! 🙂

You know I’ll never turn down a crockpot recipe! I actually need a bigger crockpot. Mine is a little too small. I’ve never tried doing fish in one though. I must try!
Heather @Fit n Cookies
shrimp, tacos, and crockpot in one recipe?! I mean, could it actually get any better! I love it all and I am going to make it really soon!
Emily @ Sinful Nutrition
Stahp! You got my mouth watering over here, and it’s not even 10 AM! Love the idea of throwing these in the crockpot. Especially since I have a track record of cooking shrimp into overkill. 🙂

Kindal @ LiftingRevolution.com
