Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker Risotto
I have decided to include pressure cooker when talking about Instant Pot recipes. I realize that some of you may not have an Instant Pot and you are using some other kind of pressure cooker. I've cooked with pressure cookers for ages, and while I liked them, I didn't love them. That all changed with an electric pressure cooker!

Instant Pot Risotto
I knew that I wanted to try an Instant Pot Risotto and when I found Shrimp Risotto in my favorite Pressure Cooker Cookbook, The Great Big Pressure Cooker Cookbook, I marked it to try. I love the days that I use my Instant Pot, once everything is in there and the timer is set, I can walk away. I don't have to watch it!
Instant Pot Shrimp Risotto
This Instant Pot Shrimp Risotto was everything I had hoped it would be. It was rich and creamy with plenty of flavor. The best part, no standing over the stove stirring!

Instant Pot Shrimp Risotto
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 1 roasted red pepper chopped
- 1 tablespoon oregano leaves minced
- 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 ½ cups arborio rice
- ¼ cup dry sherry
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup bottled clam juice
- 1 pound shrimp peeled, deveined, chopped
- ½ cup parmesan cheese finely grated
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a 6 quart pressure cooker set to the saute function. Add the onion and the roasted pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion is softened - about 4 minutes. Stir in the oregano, paprika, salt and pepper and continue cooking for about a minute.
- Add the rice and stir for about a minute. Pour in the sherry and stir until it's absorbed. Add the broth and clam juice, stir.
- Lock the lid on the pot and set to vent to sealing. Set the machine to cook at high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Use the quick-release method to bring the pot back to normal pressure.
- Remove the lid and set the pressure cooker back on saute. Add the shrimp and stir until the shrimp is cooked, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cheese. Turn off the heat and let sit for a minute or two.
