Let your Instant Pot® thaw and cook frozen shrimp for you. They're in a sauce that's sweet, sticky, and salty, with just the right amount of heat.

Ingredients

1 pound frozen large shell-on shrimp
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons cold water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
2 green onions, chopped

Directions

1 Pour 1 cup water into a multi-functional pressure cooked and place a steamer basket inside. Place frozen shrimp in the steamer basket. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 0 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
2 Meanwhile, make the sauce by whisking cornstarch and cold water together until smooth. Add soy sauce, honey, garlic, oil, and Sriracha sauce. Whisk again.
3 Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 2 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove the steamer basket and set shrimp aside. Drain water from the pot.
4 Select Saute function. Pour sauce into the pot and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Cancel Saute function. Stir in shrimp until evenly coated. Transfer to serving plates and garnish with green onions.
