Place the shrimp and minced garlic in the slow cooker.
Pour the chicken broth over the shrimp and garlic, ensuring they are well-coated.
Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until the shrimp are cooked through and tender.
About 20 minutes before the shrimp are done, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain the pasta and add it to the slow cooker, stirring to combine with the shrimp and garlic sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Variations & Tips
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the slow cooker along with the garlic. If you prefer a creamier sauce, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of cream cheese just before serving. You can also add vegetables like spinach or cherry tomatoes for added color and nutrition. For an extra layer of flavor, consider using seafood stock instead of chicken broth.
