Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Teriyaki Shrimp with Zucchini and Cauliflower.
Step 1
To create a delicious teriyaki shrimp dish in your multi-functional pressure cooker, start by combining soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, white sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, toasted sesame oil, and ground white pepper in the pot.
Step 2
Give it a good whisk until everything is well blended, creating a flavorful base for your meal.
Step 3
Next, add the raw shrimp, zucchini, and cauliflower to the mixture, ensuring they are nicely coated in the sauce.
Step 4
Secure the lid tightly, and get ready for some magic.
Step 5
Set your pressure cooker to high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions, and set the timer for zero minutes.
Step 6
Yes, you read that right—your food will cook while the pot builds pressure, which usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 7
Once the pressure is reached, carefully release it using the quick-release method as directed by your cooker, which should take around five minutes.
Step 8
When you unlock and lift the lid, take a moment to check if the shrimp and veggies are cooked to your liking.
Step 9
If they need a little more time, simply switch on the 'Sauté' mode and let them simmer for one to two minutes, stirring occasionally until they reach your desired doneness.
Step 10
Now, for that perfect sauce, mix cornstarch with three tablespoons of water in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 11
Turn the 'Sauté' function back on and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Step 12
Gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry, stirring gently until the sauce thickens to your preferred consistency.
Step 13
Give it a taste and adjust the seasonings if needed—this is your chance to make it just right! Finally, serve your teriyaki shrimp over a bed of hot, fluffy rice, and don’t forget to sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for that extra touch.
Step 14
Enjoy your delightful creation, and savor the flavors of your homemade teriyaki dish!.
