- Set the pressure knob on the top of the lid to Sealing. Select "Manual" and reduce to 7 minutes. It will say "On" in a few seconds. Note: the Instant Pot will need to warm up for 5-10 minutes. Steam will be released and a few minutes later, the time will start counting down.

- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what brings this dish together. Be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and complements the shrimp and pasta.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or oregano, will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
