Instant Pot Shrimp boil Instant Pot Shrimp boil
Shrimp boil is my favorite dish. I make this in many different ways , this is my cheap and easy way and great for the winter. For this recipe I get all my ingredients from ALDI expect the old bay and frozen corn on the cob, and lemons .This is a family recipe but I have changed it to be a smaller and cheaper dish, our traditional recipe calls for an outdoor turkey fryer, in a very large amount. However you can make this on a stove top, or and instant pot, or an indoor turkey fryer , I have made this in all these ways and they are all great. This recipe here is for an instant pot, but can be made on stove top or in an indoor turkey fryer. 🌈NinjaMommaKitchen🌈 -
