Shrimp and Sausage Recipe in the Instant Pot

This Shrimp and Sausage recipe made in the Instant Pot is 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.

How To Make Shrimp and Sausage In the Instant Pot

To make it, you begin by sautéing the onions and peppers.  To do so, press the Sauté button on the Instant Pot® and add olive oil to the pot.   Allow it to heat for 30 seconds.  Add the onion and peppers and sauté for 5 minutes until the onions have become translucent.

Add the tomatoes with juice, shrimp, sausage, Old Bay Seasoning, salt, pepper, and water. Lock the Instant Pot lid.

Next, press the Steam button and adjust the time to 0 minutes. (That’s not a typo.  Trust me on this.). When the timer beeps, quick-release the pressure until the float valve drops and then unlock the lid.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mixture to four bowls, and serve warm.
