You can make this incredibly beautiful shrimp boil in the Instant Pot® in a couple of minutes and for a fraction of the price at a restaurant. If you want to add additional seafood such as crab, add it to the Instant Pot® at the same time as the shrimp. The cook time will stay the same.

INSTRUCTIONS

To the Instant Pot®, add broth and garlic. Add the trivet.
Add potatoes, corn, and sausage, then sprinkle Old Bay seasoning over everything.
Close the lid; turn the knob to Sealing.
Press Manual or Pressure Cook button and adjust time to 3 minutes.
When the timer beeps, immediately turn the knob from Sealing to Venting, then remove the lid.
Add shrimp, stir, then immediately replace the lid and wait 5–8 minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
To serve, remove everything to a large bowl and serve with a side of butter, lemon, and sprinkle of parsley.
