Instructions
  1. Combine beer, water, and garlic in the pot. Stir to combine.
  2. Add corn, potatoes and sausage. Sprinkle the cajun seasoning (if using) and 1 tbsp of the Old Bay and over the top.
  3. Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  4. Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- buttons and program the Instant Pot for 4 minutes.
  5. When the time is up, quick-release the remaining pressure.
  6. Add shrimp and sprinkle lemon juice and remaining 1 tbsp Old Bay over the top. Replace the lid and make sure the pot is still set to WARM. The residual heat will cook the shrimp. Check for doneness after 5 minutes.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to remove corn, potatoes, sausage and shrimp to a serving platter.
  8. Mix together butter and garlic powder. Pour butter mixture over the platter or serve on the side for dipping.
  9. Garnish with additional Old Bay and/or cajun seasoning. Serve warm.
Recipe Notes

*If your Instant Pot does not have a MANUAL function, use the Pressure Cook function.

    This was something I wouldnt typically make so maybe for the right person they would love this recipe. It was good! Just not for me. One of my huge down falls was final timing on the shrimp. The recipe said to add after for 5 mins on warm after you’ve released the steam. It took 20 mins and the shrimp was defrosted and set out of the fridge for over an over. Overall took maybe an hour. Easy but longer than expected.

    This came out perfect. Didn’t use the cajun spice to avoid being overly spicy due to 4 yr old consumming, but should have. Used low sodium old bay to reduce sodium. Used golden potatoes insteaad of red, husband purchased wrong size potatoes had to cook separately 4 min.

    This is a great recipe! My whole family of picky eaters enjoyed it. Not a fan of beer, so I substituted the beer with low sodium chicken stock. The final timing on cooking the shrimp was way off. It took at least 20 mins for the shrimp to be fully cooked. Next time I will take everything out and then put the shrimp in the liquid to cook.

    This was the worst recipe in regards to the written instructions. I restarted it two times and the potatoes were still hard. What am I doing wrong?

    Turned out fabtastic. Only change was the shrimp didnt cook real wellwith residual heat but set pot for 2 min pressure cook after adding shrimp and they turned out perfect.

    Not bad. Simple to make love the sausage. Had to pressure cook again after sausage to get shrimp cooked right.

    I didnt realize shrimp were precooked in recipe. I bought large tiger shrimp. To cook I just peeled, deveined, and did steam normal for 2min with instant release using a stainless steel bowl on a trivet.
    Then just followed recipe from there.

    ABSOLUTELY amazing! I added whole baby bella mushrooms, which added more things to eat but not the flavor. Gave this recipe to my grandma and she absolutely loved it too!!

    We really liked it. Good flavor. I did cut my potatoes in half as needed. Used thawed frozen peeled and precooked shrimp. They were perfect after the 5 minutes as stated. My hubby thought maybe try using the rack to keep corn off bottom. But I’ll definitely being making it again. Looking forward to the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

    The only reason I didnt give this 5 stars is that “cooking” the shrimp in the warm cycle didn’t get it done. I would recommend cutting the potato/corn cook time by a couple minutes, then adding the raw shrimp and pressure cooking on high for 3-5 minutes depending on the size and temperature of your shrimp.

    This was really good. I am used to making it in the crockpot and it taking several hours. This recipe is very accurate. I used jumbo shrimp instead of regular and it took an additional 25 minutes on the warm setting to cook after completing the pressure cycle but it was worth it. I used garlic salt and garlic powder in the melted butter, taking it up a notch. my girlfriend loved it.

    Shrimp did not cook on keep warm.
    I had to put the keep warm cycle on hi an leave it sit for 25 more mins.

    Hi Ninex21,

    If it isn’t cooking on keep warm you can always turn on saute for more heat.

    Louisianan here…Havent made yet but what can be subsituted for the beer or do i just not use it? Thanks so much!

    Hi Tayrossa,

    If you do not want to use beer substitute the same amount of liquid with another liquid like water but you could use chicken too. It just can’t be a thicker liquid and has to have the same consistency.

    Great easy receipe!!! I have a Luxe Mini so the shrimp didnt cook with just keeping the pot on warm. Ended up taking everything out of the pot and replaced the liquid and the shrimp and let it cook that way.

    I did not have any beer so just added water. I used a 1lb bag of frozen medium shrimp. Left them on warm for 15 minutes which was enough to heat them all the way through. I used two 12oz sausage packs, four ears of sweet corn that I cut in half.

    Quick and easy to fix, and great flavor. Make sure the red potatoes are a uniform small size or they won’t be done in the time allotted.

    This was pretty amazing, i cooked as directed accept my shrimp were uncooked and frozen so instead of leaving the shirmp in on warm for 5 min i cooked on high pressure again for 3 min. Potatos were perfect! Corn was soooo juicy!

    Tried making this today. Turned out pretty good! I used water instead of beer. Might try beer next time!

    Instant Pot says:

    If you want to substitute or add an ingredient, look at the cooking time for that food ingredient and if it is less than the recipe calls then no adjustment is needed. If the cooking time is longer either cut the food item up as this reduces the cooking time or adjust the cooking time for the recipe.

    I love the recipe. Thosvwas my first attempt with Instant Pot. I deviated slightly. I did 3/4 lb shrimp and 1 lb crab legs. I had to do 4 mins pressure as per recipe, added shrimp and crab legs and then 2 mins pressure. Delicious. Warm setting did not work. In retrospect, maybe I should have placed the shrimp in the liquid instead of on top of other ingredients. The Warm setting my have worked (without the crab legs).

    Very good! My wife and I just loved it. We recommend using andouille sausage if you like a little more kick. the shrimp really didn’t get warmed up sitting on Warm for 5 minutes, so we cooked it for five minutes afterwards…potatoes got a little mushy and the shrimp was slightly overcooked. We’re going to try it next time cooking with shrimp for 3 minutes.

    Delicious! I replaced the beer with water. I had 1.5 lb of fresh shrimp and 1 lb of crab legs. I added 4 minutes after adding the seafood and it turned out perfect.

    Ive made this twice now. I add crab legs too. The first time was for my daughter who went back for fourths. Tonight, I made it for my boyfriend. Watching him throw down saying “this is so good” with every bite was pretty awesome! Guess we will have to serve this at the wedding since he said “make this for me a lot and you are a keeper” lol
