Instant Pot Risotto with Shrimp and Veggies

This low fuss Instant Pot Risotto recipe with shrimp and veggies is one of those meals that tastes like you’ve slaved over the stove all day, but it can actually be on your table in no time at all!

Clear Glass Bowl with Instant Pot Ristotto, Shrimp and Veggies

I go through phases with my Instant Pot. Sometimes I love it and use it all the time. Other times it will go back into my pantry and I’ll forget about it for months. When it’s hot, it’s hot and when it’s not, it’s not. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who has this kind of relationship with their pressure cooker. Any small appliance, really. Out of sight, out of mind!

Well, today I have a recipe for Instant Pot Risotto with Shrimp and Veggies that is well worth bringing your instant pot out of hiding for. I promise! If you love risotto, but don’t love having to babysit it on the stovetop for a long time, this recipe is for you!Instant Pot Risotto in a glass bowl with shrimp and veggies

I am going to start by getting this out of the way because it drives me crazy when I see a recipe and think it’s all done in one pot. The only part of this recipe made in the instant pot is the risotto. The shrimp and veggies are cooked in a skillet while your pressure cooker is making risotto magic. Besides, I’m not sure but I think shrimp in the instant pot would be kind of gross. Wouldn’t it turn out all rubbery and tough? I have no idea, but I just wanted to be upfront with you. Having you annoyed with me before we got too far into things wouldn’t be good. 

(OK – I digress but I guess there are a lot of Instant Pot Shrimp recipes out there, so obviously, what do I know?)

One more thing I should probably get out of the way. Real chefs, which I am definitely not one, will probably disagree with me that delicious tasting risotto can be made in just a short amount of time.

Isn’t risotto supposed to be a labor of love? The simmering and stirring over the pot, making sure the arborio rice is cooked to perfection? Adding just enough wine, cheese, butter and love so that it’s not mushy and not too firm?

Well, I’ve had some pretty amazing risotto at fine restaurants and I would say this pressure cooker risotto can stand up to those when it comes to texture and flavor! It isn’t mushy at all and requires very little effort from me. For a mom just trying to get a nutritious dinner on the table, that is a huge plus.

This recipe was inspired by one I recently saw in Taste of Home Magazine. Taste of Home is always one of my go-to favorite sources for family-friendly recipes. They hit it out of the park with this one. I didn’t adjust the risotto much but changed up the shrimp and veggie part based on the veggies and ingredients I typically have on hand. This version has been on repeat in our house and it’s just about perfect!

For their exact recipe from Taste of Home, check out the October 2019 issue. For my version, see below! Happy cooking!

H is for...high!
.
It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!
.
Who are you rooting for Sunday? Chiefs, Buccaneers or tacos? 😂

D is for... Dreary (and Dog)
February has always been my least favorite month. I have a special name for this month that may start with another not so nice F word...🤭.
.
In Kansas, the sun usually doesn't shine that often, it's cold, and just kind of gray and blah.
.
My indoor jungle makes me happy though...especially this space in my office. Houseplants almost makes me forget we’re in the “F” month 😂.
.
Also, my dog (my favorite d word) would not sit still for a picture when I had my tripod set up, but I finally caught her sitting on her bed and had to catch a picture with my phone. Swipe and you’ll see she is much overdue for a haircut.

C is for Coaching, Coffee and Crystals! Lots of C words today. My @rockyourhappy coaching practice has been the best thing. I am so lucky to be working with really great clients who are doing the hard work and making big changes in their lives. It’s been the perfect fit for me and I know it’s what I am meant to be doing. Coffee, of course, is my favorite C word and Crystals…my daughters got me into the energy powers of crystals and it’s been really fun to learn all about them.

B is for Books! Are you a big reader? I wasn’t really a reader growing up. Well, I take that back. In junior high I plowed through the Sweet Valley High series (anyone else?) 😊 And when I was in elementary school I would bust my butt to get to the highest level in the SRA Reading box before anyone else. But I wasn’t a kid who you’d find with their nose in a book, ever.
.

It wasn’t until I was an adult, and my kids began to sleep through the night, that I started reading for fun. Now, I read all the time and it’s one of my favorite pastimes. I love talking books with people and sharing recommendations. I really don’t watch TV, so books, especially right now, is my main form of entertainment.
.

This is why for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photography challenge, I knew that Books would be my B. It’s my favorite B word (beating out Bullet Journaling, Bread, Blankets, Be Happy, etc).

A is for Alone. I think one of the hardest things for me to get used to this past year is rarely being alone. My husband used to travel all the time. My school aged kids were in school all day while I worked. I’d even get several days a month in a hotel room by myself for my work travels. I like my alone time and it’s definitely something I miss.
.

I’m easily distracted so you will usually find me working in complete silence…maybe just the hum of my essential oil diffuser and the sound of my fingers on my keyboard. I need the quiet and treasure silence.
.

With that said, I’ve loved the extra time with my family - and we’ve all learned over the past several months how to give each other space and recognize when we need that space. As of today, my kids all are back to school full time in person 😢. Nick is still working from home and will be for the time being, but now the aloneness feels strange. I’m sure we’ll get used to this “new normal” yet again!
