Made with potatoes, hungarian sausage, corn, shrimp, musssels, and seasonings, this Instant Pot Seafood Boil is an easier and faster way to prepare this classic dish.
And yes, this is what I prepared for our celebration of Twinkle’s 9th Birthday. Again, it was a swimming party so I figured this is one recipe that’s quick and easy to prepare. Plus, I could bring my Instant Pot and have this warmed up before eating. Another reason for bringing this, Ykaie and my nieces were requesting a shrimp dish.
What is a Seafood Boil?
A seafood boil is a dish made with shellfish, vegetables, and sometimes sausage, all boiled together in a pot of seasoned water. It’s a popular dish in the United States, particularly in the South, and is often served as a casual, communal meal. Shrimp, crab legs, lobster, clams, mussels, and crawfish are all commonly used seafood items, while corn, potatoes, and sausage are popular accompaniments.
This Instant Pot Seafood Boil that I made only has shrimp, mussels, hungarian sausage, corn, and potatoes. Since I didn’t have old bay seasoning, I used cajun seasoning instead.
As for the dipping sauce, I prepared Garlic Butter sauce and a store-bought bottled Cajun Sauce.
