- Hey friends, it's Shawn with iwashyoudry.com.
And today I am so excited because we are going to
be making my Instant Pot Shrimp Boil.
You guys, this recipe comes together in minutes
and it's such a no brainer recipe.
You are going to fall in love.
I can't wait to show you, let's get started.
The first thing we're going to do is start collecting all
of our ingredients, which I am using
one and a half pounds of baby red potatoes.
And I am also using three ears of corn.
This is fresh corn, you can also use frozen corn.
That's totally fine.
And I'm just going to cut these in half.
I'm going to just run my knife along it like this,
just till it's kind of scored.
And then I'll easily be able to snap it in half like that.
So juicy.
Love summer corn.
All right.
We are also using just 13 ounces of andouille sausage
and this is Cajun seasoned or style andouille sausage
and I am just going to cut it into two inch segments
and that's all we got to do for that.
Have two pounds of this is called
Super Colossal Shrimp.
They are massive.
And I have them frozen with the tails and shells on
this is just because I feel like a shrimp boil is all about
eating with your hands and getting in there.
And so I'm just using these ones and we're using two pounds.
If you want to use smaller ones, that's totally fine.
And up to you.
As with any instant pot recipe
you have to have water to build or liquid to build
that pressure in the instant pot.
So I am starting with one and a half cups of chicken broth.
I'm going to add one tablespoon of hot sauce and
Three teaspoons of old bay seasoning.
Now this has a little bit of a kick to it.
So if you want it a little less spicy
you can reduce the amount.
But I find that three teaspoons is perfect.
So we're going to whisk that together.
Now let's get everything loaded up into our instant pot.
So I'm going to take that
one and a half pounds of baby red potatoes.
Just add those in there.
My corn,
my sausage as well.
We have that in there.
And if you wanted softer onions
you can add your onions right now.
I like my onions to have a little bit more bite to them.
So I'm going to add them later with the shrimp
because the last thing you want to do is overcook shrimp
Right? It's just rubbery and gross.
So that gets thrown in at the last little bit.
I'm going to pour our sauce over the top.
Sweet.
And that's it guys.
I'm going to throw the lid on and we're going to put this
at high pressure with the vent closed
in the sealing position for just five minutes.
So as with all instant pot recipes
it's going to take some time
for the pressure to build in here.
Once it builds, it'll count down to five minutes
(beeping sounds)
then we will do a quick release.
So we just got to wait.
All right, time is up.
Let's go ahead and release that pressure.
(pressure release sound)
That always scares me.
All right, go ahead and quickly pop
in your frozen shrimp
as well as those onions, if you didn't already do that
Just throw those in there and
The quicker you can get your lid back on
put it back onto sealed the quicker it'll cook.
So I'm going to cancel that
and then I'm going to turn it back
on and we're going to cook it for just one minute.
We're going to let it build back up to pressure
do a quick release, and then we're done.
All right, we're ready for the final release.
(pressure release sound)
- Once the little red plunger plunges down,
then you know that the pressure has been released
and it is safe to open.
There it went.
Alright.
Ahhh. Look at that perfectly cooked shrimp.
Wow. It smells amazing.
okay. This is what we're going to do.
We're going to pour all of this
into my handy little serving platter
liquid, and all.
Oh it's hot.
Look at that guys.
Oh, wow.
That looks so good.
Sausage, potatoes, corn, shrimp, onions, oh.
It's just an amazing meal,
now full disclosure
while we only had it pressure cooking for five minutes.
The first time in one minute, the second time
this dish will take about 35 to 40 minutes to make
because you have to count in the amount of time it takes to
build pressure and then release it.
So all in all, it's a very hands-off type of meal.
Really great, but we're not quite done yet.
So we're going to finish this off with just a quarter cup
of butter and I'm using salted butter.
I'm going to add one teaspoon of garlic powder
as well as one teaspoon of old bay seasoning.
And we're going to give it a little mixerrooney.
And we're going to pour this all over
and we're going to get it
into the corn, the shrimp, the potatoes.
This is just so good.
It's like the cherry on top of the sundae.
Okay. So this meal is fantastic
for just putting out, letting everyone dig in.
It's a great eat
with your hands type of meal or fork, whatever.
I'm just going to get a little bit
of everything on my plate.
Some shrimp.
Potatoes, some of those onions.
Oh, can't forget the sausage.
Oh yeah.
Look at that.
So good.
Okay. Oh, I cannot wait to dig into this.
What should I eat first?
Oh, first of all
these potatoes are going to be perfectly cooked, so soft and
tender. Mm Hmm.
They just melt in your mouth.
Hmm. So good.
Let me show you the shrimp.
I'll put my plate down.
So I like to just grab
onto the peels and I pull it down by its feet.
It's a little legs
and then pinch and then got my shrimp. Ready?
Mm mm.
Bring plenty of napkins to the party guys
because this is good.
Oh my gosh.
