Follow The Directions

01

Step

Pour the beer into the Instant Pot. (1 minute)

02

Step

Add the shrimp, butter pats, and seafood seasoning. Ensure shrimp are evenly distributed. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Select 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' mode on high pressure and set the timer for 2 minutes. (1 minute)

04

Step

Allow the Instant Pot to naturally build pressure (approximately 10 minutes).

05

Step

Once the cooking cycle is complete, carefully perform a quick pressure release according to the manufacturer's instructions (approximately 5 minutes).

06

Step

Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in the fresh parsley. (1 minute)

07

Step

Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with additional parsley and serve immediately with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges, if desired. (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Instant Pot.
Don't overcook the shrimp! Two minutes is usually perfect for large shrimp; adjust the time slightly depending on the size.
If you don't have seafood seasoning, you can create your own blend using paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
For a visually appealing presentation, arrange the shrimp artfully on the platter and garnish generously.
