Ingredients
Instant Pot Shrimp Alfredo Ingredients:
- 3 cups chicken broth or veggie broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp capers
- 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning Mix
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

- 1/2 lb dry spaghetti broken in half
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese room temperature

Cornstarch Slurry Ingredients:

Instructions
To Make Instant Pot Shrimp Alfredo:
- Add broth, garlic, capers, Italian seasoning, lemon zest, salt, pepper and shrimp into the Instant Pot. Stir to combine.
- Break the spaghetti in half so it fits easier and add it to the Instant Pot insert. Distribute the pasta evenly, but do not stir it in. Instead, gently press the spaghetti down to soak up liquid. Make sure the pasta pieces are not stuck together or they won’t cook right.
- Pour the cream on top of the pasta.
- Cover and turn the valve to the sealing position. Set to manual pressure cook for 2 mins.
- Once cook time is complete, allow for a 5 mins natural pressure release, then perform a quick pressure release to release the rest of the steam.
- Carefully remove the lid and stir the pasta gently. Let your Instant Pot Shrimp Alfredo stand for about 1-2 mins. Then add the parmesan cheese and gently stir until combined.
To Make Cornstarch Slurry (optional):
- Mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl until fully combined.
- Select the sauté function on your Instant Pot, add the cornstarch slurry to the Instant Pot Shrimp Alfredo, stir and then simmer for 2 mins.
- The alfredo sauce will thicken as it cools. If the sauce is too thick, simply stir in a bit more broth.

Notes
- Cooking time does not include the time for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure or for pressure, or for the pressure to release.
- Make sure the pasta pieces are not stuck together as you add it to the Instant Pot.
- The dry pasta needs to soak up some of the liquid to ensure it cook properly.
- You can double or (even triple) the ingredients in this recipe to feed a crowd without having to adjust the cook time! The cook time remains the same whether you are making 8 ounces, 16 ounces, or 24 ounces of pasta.
