Peel-and-eat shrimp is easy to do on the stovetop but even easier in your Instant Pot®. Not only do you not have to wait for the pot of water to boil, you also don't need a lot of liquid, which means way less seasoning is needed to flavor. Serve with crusty bread if desired.

This is one of the best uses of my Instant Pot I've tried! So much easier than making it on the stove because you don't have to keep an eye on it, and you can have this going while you prepare other things. Set it and forget it, it basically makes itself! I love that it uses frozen shrimp and is done so quickly. Perfect for those times you have unexpected company or just want a quick mid-day snack. I used a lager for the beer and it was so good! I will be making this often and make sure to have crusty bread next time to dip into the delicious broth! Read More

This just makes no sense at all. In half the time it takes to build pressure, cook, and then drop pressure. I could have made this in a pot on the stove. Same with over half the instant pot recipes. Please enlighten me if I am missing something. I have one and use it more as a slow cooker. Read More

I doubled the recipe using 2 lbs of shrimp and it came out delicious. I then used the reserved liquid to make some rice in the instapot and it too came out tasting really good. Read More

I made this recipe as written; however, I forgot to get cocktail sauce. Both my wife and I thought this recipe was really good without the sauce, but the shrimp would be even better with it. I would make this again. Read More

@Martin,my husband said the same thing. I did a taste test, he cooked it his way and I used the instantpot. Mine was actually faster and the flavor was so much better! Boiling the shrimp actually lost flavor-I was surprised! My husband is a convert. Read More
