Eggs “en Cocotte”
Cilantro-Coconut Shrimp and Broccoli
| By : |
I got the idea for this dish from a Food & Wine magazine recipe, though the original recipe felt confusing and unnecessarily complicated. I kept the flavors, but streamlined the cooking process, and added noodles to make it a complete meal. It’s important to use the right size shrimp and keep them cold right until they are cooked so they don’t overcook.

Ingredients
- 14 oz coconut milk
1 can - 2 cups loosely packed cilantro
- 1 jalapeno seeded and cut into chunks
- 1 scallion green part only, cut into chunks
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup Water

4 oz (1 package ) ramen noodles - 10 ounces peeled shrimp refrigerated (about
21-25 shrimp ) - 6 - 8 oz broccoli florets

Instructions
- In a blender jar, add the coconut milk, cilantro, jalapeño, scallion, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth. (Or place these ingredients in a deep, narrow container and use an immersion blender to purée.)
- Pour the sauce into the inner pot and add the water. Select Sauté and adjust to High heat. Bring just to a simmer, then turn the Instant Pot off.
- Break up the noodles into 3 or 4 pieces and place them in the pot in a single layer as much as possible. Layer the shrimp and broccoli over the noodles.
- Lock the lid into place. Select Pressure Cook or Manual, and adjust the pressure to Low and the time to 0 minutes. After cooking, quick release the pressure.Unlock the lid. Gently stir the mixture until the broccoli and shrimp are coated with sauce. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.
- Unlock the lid. Gently stir the mixture until the broccoli and shrimp are coated with sauce. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.

Simple and delicious!
Very good!
Add more water 1 1/2 cups. But very good
Made the gluten free version. It was really tasy but a bit watery. Will try again with less water
The noodles stuck to the bottom and it wouldn’t pressure cook. Burn msg came up. I’m guessing not enough water? Hoping I can salvage it and not waste it all.
On step 4 it says: Lock the lid into place. Select Pressure Cook or Manual, and adjust the pressure to Low and the time to 0 minutes. After cooking, quick release the pressure.
It says 0 minutes to cook?
Hi Irasema,
Yes, that is correct. When cooking with any seafood in the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, it is usually on Low Pressure with shorter cook times. This is because seafood is a more delicate meat. When setting the cooking time to 0 minutes the unit will start reaching pressure. As it is reaching pressure, the shrimp and broccoli are being cooked. Once the unit reaches pressure, it will switch off, automatically releasing the pressure naturally. The time it takes to reach pressure and then quick-releasing the pressure is enough time to cook the shrimp and broccoli perfectly without overcooking and/or burning. The 0 minutes cook time method is best used for vegetables.
Delicious! Great flavor. I think next time I will leave the noodles out as they don’t reheat very well. I will just make the shrimp and sauce and then be able to put over fresh rice or noodles
The recipe is confusing, you have to be a cilantro fan to loke this.
This was the WORST recipe ever!! The noodles ended up uncooked & matted together in a slimey, glutinous glob! The broccoli was undercooked and the burn message kept coming up and everything ended up stuck to the bottom!! Ugh..just hideous!!!
Hi Patrunchka,
We are sorry to hear this recipe didn’t work out for you.
If you were constantly receiving the burn notice than this recipe would not have cooked as intented.
When that happens multiple times the Instant Pot may not come to to pressure or reach proper cooking temperatures to prevent further “burning”.
Next burn notice, depressurize add more water-like liquid and deglaze (remove) the burnt bits stuck to the bottom of the inner pot.
Then try to cook again with a reduced cooking time.
Delicious and very easy!
Excellent! I did reduce to 1 large Pepper and added 3 tsp of organic tumeric powder.
Newbies cook. Looooooved the meal. Tastes sooo good. Healthy and easy
Is 0 mins to cook a typo? What are the actual cooking mins needed?
Hi Irasema,
Yes that is correct the recipe calls for zero minutes because the ingredients can be cooked in the time it takes to get to pressure from the heat from preheating.
Hi Kmess1966,
The correct cooking time is 0 minutes. The ingredients get cooked while the unit pressurizes.
Very good. Added a bit of ginger and used rice noodles.
If any of yall are getting burn notices its operator error. This ish is tite. I even added more shrimp and broccoli and noodles than required. Its probably great cold too the day after. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
It is a little on the mushy/slimy side. The taste is good. I added a little more garlic and some other spices. The cilantro is a little bit strong. I wish there was actual shredded coconut in it to add some texture and more coconut flavor. But overall I don’t think that I’ll be making this again.
Loved this as written (I never adjust a recipe until after trying the original). Definitely will make again & add a second jalapeno for a little more heat. We LOVE heat in Arizona!!!
The flavor is great in this recipe! However the noodles get mushy so i recommend doing them separate and adding another package of ramen. I added more broccoli and less cilantro.
This was easy and delicious. I followed the recipe but made extra noodles.
I made this with white basmati rice. I used 2 cups of rice and did not reduce water. We squeezed in the juice of one lime. Substituted some chipotle powder for jalapenos and red onion for scallion.
It was delicious and not watery at all.
