Instant Pot® Coconut-Caramel Shrimp image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons coconut water
7 tablespoons white sugar
½ cup coconut water
¼ cup fish sauce
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon finely grated garlic
¼ teaspoon crushed black pepper
2 teaspoons tapioca flour

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Meanwhile, place 1/2 cup coconut water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until hot, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Hit Cancel and switch to Saute mode. Stir in tapioca flour and whisk to combine. Cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
