• Prepare Pressure Cooker: Heat up your pressure cooker (Instant Pot: press Sauté button and Adjust once to Sauté More function) over medium high heat. Ensure your pot is as hot as it can be (Instant Pot: wait until indicator says HOT).
• Sauté Shallots, Garlic and Shrimps: Pour in 3 tbsp (45ml) olive oil, 4 tbsp (57g) unsalted butter to the pot. Ensure to coat oil over whole bottom of the pot. Sauté minced shallots (50g) and minced garlic (10g) until soften and fragrant. Add in dry brined shrimps. Cook for about 1 minute per side until the shrimps are about 80% cooked. Remove shrimps and set aside to allow the residual heat to finish cooking them.
• Add Rice and Season: Add 2 cups (400g) Arborio rice into the garlic butter oil. Stir until rice is evenly coated with the oil. Continue to stir the rice. After 2 - 3 minutes, the edges of the Arborio rice should become translucent, while the center remains white. Pour in 2 tsp (10ml) Japanese soy sauce and 2.5 tbsp (45g) white or yellow miso paste. Mix well with the rice.
• Deglaze: Pour in ¾ cup (188ml) cooking sake, fully deglaze the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Stir and let the sake boil for roughly a minute allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
• Pressure Cook Risotto: Pour in 4 cups (1L) homemade fish stock. It is a good time now to make sure no rice or shallot pieces stick to the sides of the pot. Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 5 minutes + Quick Release. Open the lid carefully. Softer Risotto: This cooking time will produce al-dente risotto. If you prefer softer risotto, add an extra minute or two on the cooking time.
• Peel Shrimps: While the risotto is pressure cooking, peel the shrimps.
• Optional Step: Warm serving plates in the oven (Hot serving plates will ensure the best consistency).
• Reduce Risotto: Your pressure cooked risotto should look runny. Stir to combine with a silicone spatula to form a creamy and smooth consistency. If it is too runny, stir and cook for a few minutes longer over medium heat (Instant Pot: Press Sauté button). Add in 0.7oz (20g) Parmesan cheese and thinly sliced green onions. Mix well. Taste and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
• Serve: Place cooked shrimps on top and serve immediately with more Parmesan cheese :)

SHRIMP RISOTTO INSTANT POT

Steps:

• Saute the Shrimp: Set the Instant Pot on SAUTE function & set it on NORMAL heat. Add olive oil and saute the shrimp for 1 minute. Set them aside.
• Saute the Aromatics: In the same pot add more oil and throw in the chopped shallots & the garlic and saute until the shallots turn soft. Took me about 2-3 mins. Add salt to quicken the process.
• Saute the Arborio Rice: Now add the Arborio rice (not rinsed) and saute for 2-3 mins stirring frequently.
• Add Wine: Pour the white wine and stir the rice until it absorbs the wine. This step is IMPORTANT!
• De-glaze Pot: Now, add the hot or warm chicken stock (a must) and de-glaze the pot very well scraping the sides and the bottom of the pot with the help of the spatula. There should not be any food particles stuck at the bottom of the pot. This step if crucial and will prevent the BURN error. DO NOT rush this step!
• Pressure Cook: CANCEL the SAUTE function. Close the lid, seal the valve and PRESSURE COOK on HIGH for 5 minutes.
• Quick Pressure Release: Once, the pressure cooking cycle is over perform a quick pressure release (QPR) manually by moving the valve from the sealing to the venting position. Open the lid carefully. If the rice is thirsty you may add few splashes of the extra chicken stock or water. I would recommend adding 2 tbsp at a time.
• Mix the Dairy: CANCEL the Pressure cook mode and hit back the KEEP WARM mode. Add the butter, heavy whipping cream. Stir gently to mix well with the rice. Add the parmesan cheese & crushed black pepper and fold it gently with the rice until the cheese melts and incorporates completely and uniformly. Do not over-stir, avoid stirring briskly!
• Mix in the protein & peas: Throw in the sautéed shrimp and the thawed frozen green peas. The Shrimp Risotto must be silky, velvety and creamy at this stage. Serve immediately with drizzles of grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!

SHRIMP RISOTTO | INSTANT POT SHRIMP RISOTTO RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt the butter and add the rice, water, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Put frozen shrimp and frozen vegetables on top. For this recipe, you will need to use frozen shrimp and vegetables. This is because it takes the rice 4 minutes to cook, and you don't want overcooked seafood and mushy veggies. This is also the reason you won't want to stir the seafood and veggies into the rice. Just lay them on top half submerged in the water.
• Cook at High Pressure for 6 minutes, with a quick release.
• Mix, let water absorb back into rice if needed and serve with Parmesan cheese.

INSTANT POT SHRIMP RISOTTO

Steps:

• Season shrimp by lightly sprinkling with a bit of salt, pepper, and paprika.
• Cook Shrimp now if using option 1. *See options in notes below* To cook shrimp in the Instant Pot, press the sautè button and wait until it says "HOT" on the screen. Add 1 Tbsp butter, allow to melt, then cook shrimp for 1 minute per side or until opaque through, working in batches without crowding. Add more butter as needed between batches. Remove shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Sauté vegetables. If you cooked the shrimp in the Instant Pot, just leave the sauté function on and add 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp olive oil to the pot. If you are cooking the shrimp in a skillet during step 8, turn the sauté function on now and allow the Instant Pot to heat up. When the display reads "HOT", add the 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp olive oil. Both methods proceed from here together: Allow the butter to melt, then add in onion, shallot, and celery and sauté for 3 minutes. Add garlic and sautè for 30 seconds.
• Toast the rice. Add rice to pot, stir to coat in oil, then cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to toast the rice.
• Add wine and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom well.
• Add stock and salt, stir well. Turn Instant Pot off.
• Cook risotto. Secure the lid, set valve to sealing position, and set to manual high pressure for 3 minutes. It should take about 5 minutes to come to pressure.
• Cook shrimp now if using the skillet method (*see notes below*). Melt 1 Tbsp butter over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add shrimp, one by one, and cook for 1 minute per side or until opaque through (this is for medium-large shrimp, adjust cook time based on the size of your shrimp). If you are using a smaller pan you will need to work in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan. Add more butter to the skillet as needed if working in batches. Remove shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Natural release 5 minutes. When the Instant Pot timer goes off, allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes.
• Quick release. Do a quick release to depressurize the rest of the way.
• Season to taste. Remove the lid, taste, and season with more sea salt if desired.
• Add parmesan and butter. Stir in remaining 1 Tbsp butter, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. The risotto should be smooth and creamy. If it looks too thick, just add a bit more stock until you get a smooth consistency.
• Top with shrimp and garnish with parsley, black pepper, and more parmesan if desired.
• Serve immediately for best texture. If you let risotto sit, it will thicken as the rice absorbs more of the moisture and it won't have that nice creamy texture. If you must wait and the risotto thickens, just stir in a little more stock. The rice will swell a bit and won't have that nice al dente bite, but it will still taste great ????.

INSTANT POT RISOTTO

Steps:

Pour in 2 cups (400g) arborio rice. Ensure all the rice is coated with butter. Give it a quick stir to mix everything together. Toast arborio rice for 2 - 3 minutes to give the dish a really nice nutty flavor. *Pro Tip: We don't want to brown the rice. Ensure the arborio rice's edges become translucent, while the center remains white.
• Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour in ½ cup (125ml) dry white wine, then deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot. Let the wine simmer for roughly a minute to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
• Pressure Cook Risotto: Add in 2 tbsp (30ml) regular soy sauce and 4 cups (1000ml) unsalted chicken stock. Give it a quick mix and make sure no rice is sticking to the sides of the Instant Pot.

Optional Fancy Step - Warm Plates: Warm serving plates in the oven (200°F toaster oven) to ensure the best risotto consistency when served.
• Add Green Peas & Cheese: The risotto will look soupy at first. Add ½ cup - 1 cup (85g - 170g) green peas to the risotto. Stir to combine and form a creamy smooth consistency. *Pro Tip: If the risotto is too runny, stir and cook for another few minutes using "Sauté" function. Add in 42g freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to melt the cheese. When the risotto reaches your desired consistency, taste and season with kosher salt & black pepper (we used 2 pinches of salt for seasoning).
