Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound medium sized shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 16 ounces angel hair pasta
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley minced
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Heat the Instant Pot using the Saute function.
  • Add the olive oil and allow it to heat until almost smoking–we want a hard sear on the shrimp for the best flavor.
  • Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Add the shrimp to the hot oil and saute them for 1 minute. Turn the shrimp and saute them on the second side for 1 minute.
  • Add the shallot, garlic, white wine, and chicken stock. In that order because adding the stock before the wine can cause it to splatter.
  • Next add the pasta, making sure it’s fully submerged. You may need to break it in half.
  • Attach the lid and ensure the valve is in the sealing position.
  • Set the timer to 1 minute.
  • When the Instant Pot has finished cooking, release the pressure manually by switching the valve to the “venting” position. Be careful, it will steam!
  • Add the butter, lemon juice, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Mix to combine and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • If the butter doesn’t melt immediately, replace the lid (with the instant pot turned off) and leave it to sit for 3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
