Step 1

Add water to the inner pot of the Instant Pot.

Step 2

Place a steamer basket in the inner pot.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the steamer basket, and make sure you separate them so they aren’t in one big clump.

Step 4

Close the lid and pressure cook for 3 minutes * at LOW pressure. (If you are using jumbo shrimp, you might need to change the frozen shrimp time to 4 minutes.)

Step 5

Once pressure cooking is complete, do a quick release of pressure (QR). Open the lid.  [Read More: The Different Pressure Release Methods]

Step 6

Carefully remove the steamer basket using silicone mitts.

Step 7

Sprinkle Old Bay seasoning or your choice of seasoning on the shrimp and toss to coat.
