    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!

    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!

    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
