3-Step Execution Protocol

1
Preheat & Prep

Add jumbo shrimp (peeled & deveined) (Raw jumbo shrimp (16/20 count), peeled and deveined, placed on steamer basket over 1 cup water) to the Instant Pot inner pot. Seal the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Select 240°F (116°C) for 1–2 mins.

2
Pressure Cook

Cook at 240°F (116°C) for 1–2 mins. Use quick release.

3
Check & Rest

Plump, pink and opaque throughout, curled into a loose 'C' shape, springy texture. After quick release, carefully open the lid away from you. Let stand 1 minutes before serving.

Pro Tip: Set cooking time to '0' or '1' minute at High Pressure, followed by immediate Quick Release; the time coming to pressure cooks the shrimp.
