Step 9
Add shrimp/prawns and lime juice. Give it a good stir.
Step 10
Drain the water from the soaked rice and add the rice on top of the shrimp and add just enough water (approximately 1.25 cups) to completely submerge the rice.

Press “Warm / Cancel” button and then select “Pressure Cook.”
Step 12
Adjust the time to 5 minutes and set the pressure selection at low. Cover the Instant Pot lid and lock it. Make sure the vent is at sealing position.

Once the cooking cycle completes, immediately release pressure by moving the vent from sealing to venting.
Step 14
Open the lid and let the steam escape. Add a tablespoon of ghee and gently fluff the rice. Add cilantro and gently mix it in.
