jumbo shrimp

The key to cooking shrimp biryani in an electric pressure cooker is to buy jumbo shrimp, which won’t overcook in the amount of time it takes to cook the rice. This version, from Chandra Ram’s “The Complete Indian Instant Pot Cookbook,” is bright with ginger root, fresh curry leaves and plenty of lime juice. Kashmiri chile is a very mild red chile powder that can be found in Indian markets, but if you can’t get it, substitute three parts sweet paprika and one part cayenne. And if you can’t get the fresh curry leaves, simply leave them out. The dish won’t be quite as fragrant, but will still be delicious.

Pressure Cooker Shrimp Biryani

basmati rice

vegetable oil

onion, chopped

Serrano chile, minced

ginger

garlic

salt

Kashmiri chile powder

turmeric

smoked paprika

curry leaves,

water

jumbo shrimp (16 to 20

lime

cilantro

Place the rice in a bowl and cover with 2 cups water. Let stand for 20 minutes, then drain and rinse.

Heat oil in the pot of an electric pressure cooker with the sauté function set on high, until oil is shimmering. Add onion; cook for about 4 minutes, until softened. Stir in Serrano chile, ginger, garlic, salt, chile powder, turmeric, paprika and curry leaves; cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Stir in boiling water; using a wooden spoon, stir, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Stir in soaked rice, shrimp and tomatoes (with juice).

Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. Quick-release the pressure, stir lime juice into the rice, then cover the pressure cooker with a kitchen towel and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Give rice a stir, then taste and add more salt, if needed. Transfer to a platter, garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

10-minute air fryer jumbo shrimp is juicy and tender on the inside, and crispy on the outside. It's so flavourful and garlicky with Asian seasonings.

Air Fryer Jumbo Shrimp

jumbo shrimp, deveined,

olive oil

+ 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

garlic, minced

sugar

Italian seasoning

black pepper (optional)

white sesame seeds,

cilantro,

mayonnaise

Sriracha

lime juice

Cut through the shrimp shell along the back with scissors. Remove veins, rinse and pat dry with paper towel.

Add the shrimp into a large Ziploc bag (or mixing bowl). Add in all the seasoning (olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, sugar, Italian seasoning, and black pepper). Seal the bag and gently press the marinade around the shrimp to coat. Set aside for 20 minutes.

Transfer the marinated shrimp into the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket. A batch of 10-15 shrimps is ideal.

Air fry the shrimp at 350 F for 10 minutes, until the shells are crispy and orange. Shake the basket halfway through cooking.

Transfer the shrimps onto a plate, sprinkle white sesame seeds and cilantro on top, and serve with spicy mayo sauce. To make the spicy mayo sauce, combine mayonnaise, sriracha and lime juice in a small bowl and stir well with a spoon.
