Cook Shrimp in Instant Pot: Use “Sauté More” to heat up Instant Pot. Wait until the Instant Pot says "HOT". Melt 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter or olive oil in the inner pot, and ensure to coat the unsalted butter or oil all over the whole bottom of the pot. Add the shrimp in Instant Pot, and make sure all the shrimp are directly touching the pot. You don't have to stir the shrimp. Let the shrimp cook for 2 minutes on one side before flipping them over, then cook the other side for 1.5 minutes. *Cooking Time: If your shrimp are bigger or smaller than 26/30, increase or decrease your cooking time according to the size of your shrimp.
