Instant Pot Coconut-Caramel Shrimp Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Instant Pot Coconut-Caramel Shrimp Recipe). I'm fortunate to live in Oklahoma where we have a lovely Vietnamese community. This is my Americanized version of coconut-caramel shrimp. It's made in an Instant Pot®, and while it can be made on the stovetop you'll use more pots and pans. I love serving this with jasmine rice cooked in coconut milk.

Directions

Step 1

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function on high heat. Set timer to a total of 10 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons coconut water and sugar. Stir just once then leave alone to bubble.

Step 2

Meanwhile place 1/2 cup coconut water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until hot 1 to 3 minutes.

Step 3

Once pressure cooker reads \Hot\ the coconut water-sugar mixture should be an amber color. Carefully pour the hot coconut water into the pot using caution as this will cause steam to rise.

Step 4

Add in fish sauce and shrimp. Hit Cancel. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 5

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions about 5 minutes. Once steam is released remove lid and add in grated ginger garlic and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Hit Cancel and switch to Saute mode. Stir in tapioca flour and whisk to combine. Cook until sauce thickens slightly about 2 minutes.
