I got an instant pot for Mother's Day!

We labored over the decision of whether to get an Instant Pot or an Air Fryer, but we figured we'd start with the pot and eventually we can buy the extension that will make it an fryer. It came yesterday, and I was eager to try it out. I polled my friends and relatives for recipes, and got lots of advice, but in the end, decided to try to make (Fettuccine Shrimp Alfredo) in the Pot instead. #success! It was easy to do, very easy to clean up, and I feel like everyone liked it (what's not to like, right? cheese, cream, pasta, shrimp).




Fettuccine Shrimp Alfredo

4c. chicken broth
3 cloves garlic minced
1/4 t. nutmeg
1 lb. fettuccine
2 c. heavy cream
1 lb. shrimp
6 oz. finely grated parmigiano reggiano cheese

Pour chicken broth, garlic and nutmeg in the pot. Stir to combine
Place fettuccine (broken in half) on top of the broth mixture
Pour cream on top of the pasta
Gently push pasta under the liquid
Place the lid on the pot, move the valve to seal, cook on high pressure for 2 minutes

Once complete, let everything rest for 5 minutes, then release the steam
Carefully open the pot, and add the cheese and shrimp
Replace the lid and let everything rest again for 10 minutes (the shrimp will cook in the hot liquid)

Open the pot, pour into a serving dish and enjoy
