Description
A quick and flavorful Instant Pot shrimp boil with sausage, potatoes, corn, and shrimp, all seasoned with Old Bay and topped with melted butter and fresh parsley.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby red potatoes
- 13 oz beef sausage (Cajun-style or smoked), cut into 2″ pieces
- 3 medium ears of corn, halved
- 1 cup chopped onion (or pearl onions, peeled)
- 1½ cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp hot sauce (like cayenne pepper sauce)
- 4 tsp Old Bay seasoning, divided
- 2 lbs frozen extra-large shrimp (13–15 per lb)
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Load the Instant Pot: Add potatoes, sausage, and corn to the Instant Pot liner. If you prefer soft onions, add them now. If you like more texture, add them later with the shrimp.
- Mix Broth & Seasonings: In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, hot sauce, and 3 tsp of Old Bay seasoning. Pour this mixture over the ingredients in the pot.
- Pressure Cook – Step 1: Ensure the silicone ring is snug. Attach the lid, close the vent, and cook on HIGH pressure for 5 minutes. Quick release the pressure when time is up.
- Add Shrimp & Cook – Step 2: Quickly add in the frozen shrimp and onions (if not added earlier). Close the lid and cook on HIGH pressure for 1 minute. Quick release pressure again.
- Drain (Optional): Drain excess liquid if desired.
- Season & Serve: Pour everything into a large, rimmed tray. Mix melted butter with 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning and 1 tsp garlic powder. Drizzle over shrimp boil. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- You can swap shrimp for crab or crawfish if preferred.
- Adjust hot sauce to taste — more if you like it spicy!
- Serve with crusty bread or over rice to make it a full meal.
