Cooking Instant Pot Shrimp Boil

I prefer larger shrimp here and shelled. but I knew some people like it with shells on. So it is your preference.

For the corn, I recommend sweet corn to use here. They’re so tasty.

There are several kinds of potatoes For this recipe, I suggest russet or baby dutch potatoes. They do great when pressured.

You may add more or use lesser for the sausage too.

Let’s start with the ingredients below.

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon oil of choice
2 cups shrimp
1 onion, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
6 medium potatoes, diced
4 cobs corn, split in three
6 sausage links, chopped
2 cups water or beer
3 Tablespoons Old Bay seasoning

Directions:

Place oil in instant pot (IP) and set it to a saute setting.

Once oil is hot, add the onion and cook for two minutes.

Stir in the garlic and cook for one minute before turning off the IP.

Add the sausages, followed by the potatoes and corn.

Add the Old Bay seasoning and the water.

Secure lid and select manual setting for 8 minutes. Quick-release.

And finally, add shrimp and cook for an additional minute on the manual setting. Quick-release
