Yes. You read the title correctly. We’re doing a whole shrimp boil in a pressure cooker! And let me tell you, the flavor is REAL! Shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausages slandered in my homemade buttery seafood sauce! Oh! And I haven’t told you the best part. It only takes 6 minutes of pressure cooking!

I use two types of shrimp and crab boil. The Garlic and Onion and the original concentrate. The flavor is magnified! The original adds spicy and that Louisiana boil flavor. The Garlic and Onion of course adds, garlic and onion flavor. I love using that, because I don’t like to add the actual onion and garlic as I would in a typical boil. The pressure will make the veggies extremely mushy.

I use sweet corn, mini boiling potatoes, and roasted chicken and garlic sausage in my boil. But, feel free to add any of your favorites. Don’t forget the bay leaves!

To finish off this boil, I made my homemade Seafood sauce. It’s buttery and has just the right amount of kick! Pour it over the boil, but save some for dipping.

My Pressure Cooker Shrimp Boil recipe is the perfect way to satisfy that summer boil craving any time of the year! It’s done in minutes with minimum clean up. Make sure you have plenty of napkins though!
