Instant Pot Brown Rice Jambalaya

Step 1

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.

Step 2

(This step can be done on the stovetop when the Instant Pot is cooking or you can save a clean pot by doing this step in the Instant Pot). Set the Instant Pot to "Saute" mode. Brown the sausage (a minute per side) and remove to a plate. Add 1 tbsp of oil and brown the shrimp (turns pink on both sides) and set aside with the sausage. Turn off the Saute function.

Step 3

Saute the onion and garlic for 1 minute (the pot will still be hot). Pour in 1C of water and deglaze the pot with a wooden spoon. Add in the rice and broth. Layer on top (do not stir in) the spaghetti sauce. Add in desired amount of black pepper (or cajun seasoning or cayenne pepper, depending on the amount of heat you like). Cook on high pressure cook for 45 minutes and natural release for 10 minutes.

Step 4

After opening the lid, stir in the sausage, shrimp, and chicken, diced bell peppers. Taste and adjust salt/seasoning as desired.

Step 5

Serve & enjoy!
