Ingredients
1 lb. (450g) of Frozen Shrimp, peeled and deveined (I used frozen extra-large shrimp)
1/4 cup (480mL) Fish Stock
2 Cloves (8g) of Garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. (28g) Salted Butter
1/4 cup Fish Stock
1/2 a Lemon, Juiced
Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place shrimp and fish stock in the Instant Pot.
- For extra-large or colossal-sized frozen shrimp, set the time to zero and cook at low pressure until pressure cooking stops, and the shrimp turn completely pink in color. ***Note: If you're using smaller than extra-large frozen shrimp (tiny-large) cook in saute mode with the fish stock. Again, cook until the shrimp turn pink or reach 120°F (50°C).
- Once the shrimp are cooked remove them - and the fish stock/water - from the pot and add in the butter and minced garlic.
- Cook until the garlic becomes fragrant, and then add the shrimp back into the pot along with the lemon juice.
- Work the shrimp around the pot as it cooks for around 5 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy.
