Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound frozen raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
  • 3 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli florets, sliced carrots, snap peas, red bell pepper strips)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup water or broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and add olive oil.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add frozen shrimp and mixed vegetables to the pot.
  4. Pour in soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and water or broth. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 1 minute.
  6. When cooking time is complete, perform a quick release immediately.
  7. Switch back to sauté mode and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Use quick release right away to prevent overcooking the shrimp.
