Ms. Mofet's Instant Pot Shrimp Scampi

Prepared using a 6 QT. Instant Pot (I have a Duo and an Ultra)
This is my Original Tried & True Recipe/Technique/Instructions

IMPORTANT: Be sure the inner pot is in the base unit and gasket/ring is in the lid and seated properly before beginning.

Be sure to Add 1 - 2 C. water to inner pot/liner depending on model/recipe.

Makes ≈ 4 - 6 Servings

2 lb. (31 - 40 ct./lb.) frozen raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 C. Jasmine Rice
1/4 C. butter (half stick, 4 TBSP.)
1/4 C. chopped fresh Parsley
1 tsp. Sea salt
1/4 tsp. Ground black pepper
1 pinch crushed red pepper or to taste
1 medium lemon, juiced
1 pinch saffron
1 1/2 C. water or chicken broth
4 cloves garlic minced or pressed

Add all ingredients to the inner pot, shrimp must be on the top.

Lock lid and set valve to sealing.

Select Manual, high pressure, adjust (+\-) to 5 minutes.
(Took 25 minutes to come to pressure)

When cook cycle is finished use QR (quick release).

When the pin drops remove the lid.

Gently stir.

Place scampi on platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, (fresh grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses - Optional) and squeeze of lemon juice.

Yours is the third scampi recipe I've tried and my shrimp can't be cut with a chain saw. It's tougher than nails and can't be eaten. You could break the windshield of a car with it.
You can't cook shrimp that long and have it come out soft and tender. It only takes 3 minutes to cook shrimp properly. This recipe makes dangerous missiles of the shrimp.

I've made this 4X with no problem. I don't know why you did.

Everyone loves it.
