Shrimp with Coconut Milk
What’s more, it’s a healthy shrimp recipe with no packages or mixes. I’ve been struggling to get shrimp done just right in an Instant Pot. Okay, I’m not sure why I’m even trying. Shrimp cooks so quickly it should be a non-issue to cook it stove top. But this recipe actually turned out so good that the recipe has even become a favorite of my readers. Some of it is just that I don’t like failing and I failed with shrimp in a Instant Pot two or three times and it irritated me. Shrimp is too expensive to waste like that anyway. So I was determined to try it. With thawed shrimp, not even frozen, which would have been easier. So I decided the only way this would work in an Instant Pot is Pot-in-Pot. By the way, before you decide you don’t have an Instant Pot and couldn’t be bothered with reading this, I’m also going to show you how to do this stovetop.

To cook this easy keto dinner on the stovetop, the directions couldn’t get simpler. Toss the shrimp with the spices and full fat coconut milk. Add everything to a pot, and turn the heat to medium. Cook until the shrimp are cooked through, no longer than 10 minutes. Serve with your side.
Coconut Shrimp Sauce
This shrimp recipe is quick cooking and delicious. You toss all the spices together with the coconut milk and cook it all together. Serve it with noodles, vegetables, or rice. When you cook the shrimp in the Instant Pot, the pressure not only cooks it quickly, making this a perfect easy weeknight meal, but it also melds the flavors of the sweet and nutty coconut milk with the shrimp. The Coconut shrimp sauce is perfect to serve over rice or pasta. You can use cauliflower rice to keep this a low carb recipe. Just spoon some extra coconut sauce on top of your rice….delicious! My Green Beans would be delicious with this shrimp dinner recipe, and you can get dual use out of the Instant Pot since both recipes cook so quickly!
