This Instant Pot Indian Butter Shrimp recipe allows you to have restaurant quality Indian food at home. Cooking this meal in the Instant Pot produces so much flavor. The smell is amazing. Serve over some Basmati or Jasmine rice to soak up all of the creamy, delicious sauce.

 
Fresh ginger, garam masala, lime juice, cilantro, and paprika give flavor to the sauce and shrimp. I found this recipe in one of my new cookbooks, Dinner in an Instant. It’s a good one if you are looking for new recipes to try in the Instant Pot..
The shrimp are marinated in a yogurt-based marinade with lots of spices for up to an hour.

 
While the shrimp are marinating, the sauce is prepared in the Instant Pot. The sauce only takes 8 minutes on High Pressure and then 4 to 7 minutes on “Saute” mode to thicken up some. I love how quickly a pressure cooker can marry all those flavors together!
 
The tomato and cream based sauce is flavored with shallots, garlic, fresh grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and lime zest. It is lick your finger good and some fresh Na’an would be perfect for mopping it up. The shrimp are stirred in at the end and only need a few minutes to cook.
