Instant Pot Coconut Caramel Shrimp
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons coconut water
  • 7 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut water
  • 1/4 cup fish sauce
  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons tapioca flour
Instructions
1
Begin by activating your pressure cooker and choosing the Saute function on high heat. Set a timer for a total of 10 minutes to ensure everything is cooked to perfection.
2
Add 3 tablespoons of coconut water and sugar into the pressure cooker, stirring only once to combine. Allow it to bubble away on its own.
3
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, pour 1/2 cup of coconut water and heat it in the microwave on high for 1 to 3 minutes, or until it's hot.
4
Once your pressure cooker reaches the 'Hot' setting, you should see an amber-colored mixture. Be cautious as this is when the steam starts rising.
5
Carefully pour the hot coconut water into the pressure cooker, taking care not to splash any of the steam.
6
Add in 1-2 tablespoons of fish sauce and 1 cup of shrimp. Press the Cancel button to pause the cooking process. Close and lock the lid securely.
7
Follow your pressure cooker's manufacturer instructions for high-pressure cooking, setting a timer for 3 minutes. Allow an additional 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.
8
To release the pressure, carefully use the quick-release method according to your manufacturer's instructions. This should take around 5 minutes.
9
Once the steam is released, carefully remove the lid and add in 1-2 inches of grated ginger, garlic, and pepper. Stir everything together.
10
Press the Cancel button again and switch to the Saute function on high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of tapioca flour and whisk it into the sauce until it's well combined.
11
Continue cooking the sauce for about 2 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
