Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon garlic minced
- 4 green onions (white and green parts separated)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice more to taste
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth or seafood stock
- 8 oz. angel hair pasta (226 grams) - strand broken in half
- 1 lb. shrimp (500 grams) peeled and deveined
- 1 ½ cups broccoli florets
- 2 teaspoon lemon zest (grated zest of 1 lemon)
- ¼ cup sundried tomatoes chopped
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
- ½ cup parsley chopped
Instructions
- In Saute mode, heat butter and olive oil. When butter is halfway melted, press 'Cancel'. This will keep the garlic from burning.
- Saute garlic until fragrant, for about 10 to 15 seconds. Press Cancel.
- Transfer half of the garlic to a small bowl and set aside.
- Add green onions (whites parts), salt, pepper, crushed pepper and lemon juice.
- Stir in broth.
- Divide angel hair pasta into four batches. Add pasta to the inner pot in batches: add one-fourth of pasta into the broth, fanning it out. Repeat with remaining batches, in a criss-cross pattern (see blog post for step by step photos or watch the video).
- Using a spatula, gently push down on the angel hair pasta until it's submerged in the broth. This might take 20 to 30 seconds.
- Close the lid and pressure cook the pasta for 3 minutes on High Pressure.
- Do a quick release of pressure. * [Read More: The Different Pressure Release Methods]
- Open the lid and add in shrimp, broccoli, lemon zest, sundried tomatoes, green onions (green parts ) and reserved garlic. **
- Close the lid immediately. ***
- After 10 to 15 minutes, open the lid.
- Stir in parmesan cheese and parsley. You could also add them on individual servings.
Notes
- * Quick release in bursts.
- ** Work quickly so you don't lose a lot of heat because the shrimp will cook in the residual heat of the Instant Pot!
- *** If you have trouble closing the lid, turn the steam release handle to 'Venting' position (or push down the steam release button on the ULTRA) briefly and then return to 'Sealing' position.
- The broccoli cooks to a crisp-tender consistency using this method. If you would like it to be cooked more, saute the broccoli at the beginning and set aside to add back in at the end.
- Prep time does not include steps that are already accounted for in the ingredient list, e.g. chopped onions, minced garlic, etc.
