Easy Scallops Alfredo
Shrimp Scampi
| By : |
Look no further for the quickest shrimp supper— or the best fare to be
served with toothpicks at your next cocktail party. “Scampi” traditionally
refers to a specific type of shellfish, but in North America the term has
come to mean a garlicky, buttery sauce for shellfish.
Because of the butter and oil in this dish, we recommend only using
frozen peeled and deveined shrimp. Peeling them after they’re cooked can
get messy.

First time using the instant pot and I went with what I like. I am so impressed. I received great reviews even from the kids. I adjusted the recipe a little. Instead of red pepper flakes I used cilantro.
Made it, but didn’t really have any flavor. Used exact ingredients too. If I made again I would have to add more flavor.
How do you cook something for 0 minutes? This recipe makes no sense.
Really good. It is lighter but full of flavor. Had it on zoodles.
Prepared as described but Not enough flavor. Needs something more. Also my shrimp was overcooked.
LOVED THIS! I decided to cook WITH shells (which, I know is a pain when it comes to eating the dish) and added a whole lot of garlic (like, five minced cloves) and the flavor was awesome. Cooked the shrimp on regular pressure for 7 minutes instead of 8 because I didn’t want them to overcook. There was a good amount of broth left with the shrimp to pour over angel hair pasta to keep the flavor going!
0 minutes??? Please add correct cook time.
Much easier to make this in a saute pan. Too easy to over cook the shrimp in a pressure cooker. Lots and lots of garlic for flavor
Yes how do you cook anything for 0 minutes lol please correct cooking time
I added some extra herbs and spices: bay leaves, italian seasoning, probably 3x the (fresh) minced garlic. I cooked for 7 minutes and the shrimp was perfect (started frozen). I added it to angel hair pasta and topped with garlic salt and its delicious! The red pepper flakes make it pretty spicy, which I loved!
A 0 minute cook time would mean that it builds up pressure to begin cooking and the pressure build up alone is what actually cooks the shrimp
Hi Chazday03,
That is correct.
Shrimp has a short cooking time and the heat from preheating and pressurizing is enough to cook the shrimp.

Not a fan of the watery broth. Next time I’ll make a roue with flour and the butter in Saute mode first, then add the rest of the ingredients and carry on from there. It had a great flavour, I think I’d just like to have a thicker sauce to stick to the pasta better.
Good flavor, cooked for 0 and still had overcooked shrimp. Probably wont make it again.
I’m brand new to the instant pot community and I made this tonight. It was very good. I added salt and pepper, and a little lemon juice.
So when do you add noodles?
This was like an uncooked scampi. I did not care for it.
Just made this for supper and it was great! Used larger shrimp and they were done perfectly. Also added a 1/2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning.
First of all, my instant pot didn’t let me pressure cook for zero minutes. It just basically sautéed but the pressure never built up. So eventually I just cooked it that way.
Second of all, it tasted like nothing. I had to lick a lemon to make sure I didn’t have covid lol. I ended up squeezing half a lemon, a bunch more garlic and salt and pepper. Then once I served it, I topped it with Parmesan and that saved it. Definitely not worth it.
Did not impress:-(
little flavor and srimp was over cooked:-(
