Shrimp, Smoked Sausage, and Peppers

Make this Shrimp, Smoked Sausage, and Peppers recipe in your Instant Pot for a quick, delicious meal that tastes like it’s been simmering all day. This gluten-free dish is low-carb and perfect for those on a ketogenic diet and pretty much everyone else.

I think this Shrimp, Smoked Sausage, and Pepper recipe is probably my favorite recipe from Michelle Fagone’s The “I Love My Instant Pot®” Gluten-Free Recipe Book: From Zucchini Nut Bread to Fish Taco Lettuce Wraps, 175 Easy and Delicious Gluten-Free Recipes (“I Love My” Series). With the shrimp, sausage, and peppers, the flavors remind me of jambalaya.
