I feel the need to be honest with y’all. I’m scared of my Instant Pot (IP). Like, super scared. I have a constant fear that I’m going to blow something up…but my want for good food is stronger than my fear of my IP. A friend recently shared a picture of her IP shrimp boil on Facebook and I KNEW I had to try it. I loosely based my recipe off of this recipe on Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom. I knew what I wanted to put in my broil, but wasn’t 100% sure on the cooking times, since I’m still learning each function of my IP.

This made enough for 5ish meals, just be prepared to eat it a lot or invite friends over!

Ingredients:

• 1 lbs of potatoes of your choice. I used white potatoes
• 1 package of mushrooms
• 1 package of No Sugar Kielbasa Smoked Sausage
• 1 tbsp of minced garlic or a few cloves
• 2 tbsp of Old Bay seasoning
• 1/2 tbsp of salt
• 1/2 tbsp of garlic powder
• 1/2 tbsp of onion powder
• 1 tbsp of pepper
• 1.5 lbs shrimp (I used in the shell)
• chicken broth
• water

Instructions:

• Cut the potatoes into cubes and add into IP with 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 tbsp of old bay and a dash of salt. Cover the IP and cook for 3 minutes (more if you want your potatoes really well done) on the beans/chili setting with high pressure.
• While that’s cooking, cut the sausage into slices and take stems off the mushrooms.
• Once done, release the pressure and add in sausage, mushrooms, shrimp, all the seasonings and 1 cup of water. I stirred mine around a little bit so the seasonings weren’t clumped on top.
• Cover the IP and cook for 4 minutes on the beans/chili setting with high pressure.
• Once done, release the pressure and enjoy! I use a straining ladle to fill my bowl. Delicious and so simple!
