Instant Pot Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe

Step 1

Set the Instant Pot to sauté on medium and add one tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 2

Whisk the two eggs in a small bowl, and then add them to the Instant Pot, stirring frequently, until just cooked.

Step 3

Put the eggs on a plate and set them aside.

Step 4

Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the Instant Pot then add enough shrimp to cover the bottom of the pot in a single layer.

Step 5

Cook the shrimp on each side, until slightly opaque. Remove the shrimp and put them on a plate -- they should be par-cooked.

Step 6

Repeat this process with the remaining shrimp.

Step 7

Add the onion and the garlic to the Instant Pot and cook until they're translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Add the rice and sauté for 20 to 30 seconds.

Step 9

Add the water, diced carrots, and shrimp, and mix well.

Step 10

Lock the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes.

Step 11

After cooking, allow the pressure to release for 10 to 15 minutes before quickly releasing the remaining pressure.

Step 12

Open the lid and stir in the peas, cooked egg, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

Step 13

Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately, with optional sesame seeds to garnish.
