Instructions
Shrimp Boil:
- Place potatoes, sausage, and shrimp into a 6-qt Instant Pot.
- Add the following seasonings: onion powder, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, garlic cloves, hot sauce, and bay leaves.
- Add beer and water and top with the corn.
- Close and lock the lid on the Instant Pot, and ensure the valve is set to Sealed.
- Select the manual setting and adjust the pressure to high. Set the time for 2 minutes.
- When the Instant Pot beeps and the cooking is finished, perform a quick release according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Butter Mixture:
- Add butter to a medium bowl and microwave until melted. Stir in the garlic powder and Cajun seasoning until well combined.
Serve:
- Serve shrimp boil immediately, drizzled with the butter mixture, and garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
Notes
- I recommend getting jumbo or shell-on extra-large shrimp. This is important, as they will stay juicy and not get rubbery during the pressure cooking. Also, if you're using frozen shrimp, I recommend thawing it first if you have the time, to prevent overcooking. Frozen shrimp require more pressure cooking time.
- I like using wild-caught shrimp, they will have a better taste than farm-raised.
- Do NOT use pre-cooked shrimp, the chances of overcooking it are higher.
- Also, you can use shrimp with shell on, or deveined, without shells and tails. It's based on personal preference, but I recommend leaving the shell on.
- Please don't skip the layering; the potatoes go on the bottom, as they need more time to cook, and the shrimp goes on top. I also cover the shrimp with corn to protect it from drying out.
