I love this recipe I made it even without using the instant pot and it’s amazing! But i’m definitely looking into purchasing one soon.
Love this Recipe! My kids really loved it too it’s very flavorful!!!!
So glad to hear that, thank you for sharing!
Making this tomorrow and I’m so excited! I was looking over the directions to prep stuff ahead of time and noticed you have a jalapeño in the directions but not in the ingredient list since I didn’t buy one. I’m sure it will be fine without but just wanted to mention it. Thanks!
Thank you for catching that Ashley! It will still be delicious, just add a little more hot sauce for more heat if you like. I hope you love it!
Being from New Orleans, I was definitely attracted to this recipe! And girl, you did good!! So tasty!!!! I can’t wait to try some more of you recipes!!!
Woo hoo! SO glad you loved it.
We’ve made this twice so far! Love it!
I am so glad you love it!
What is a serving???
It is 1/6th of the total amount, the recipe makes 6 servings.
Our first InstaPot recipe and it was AMAZING! Great flavor with a little heat.. perfect!
So glad to hear this, I am glad you enjoyed it!
Loved it and so easy!
Does the cauliflower rice need to be cooked before adding or do you add it frozen?
It gets added in frozen 🙂
Can I omit the parsley or use dry parsley if I don’t have fresh?
Yes, you can leave it out or add some of the dried parsley in while it cooks
Do you have a preferred brand of creole seasoning? I have never used it before and looks like different brands have different ingredient lists
I like the Tony Chachere’s brand the best
Fantastic dish! I will be making this dish regularly now it was phenomenal! Thank Yoy
Hi Chrissy, I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed it, thank you for sharing
Teton Waters Ranch has compliant andouille!
Awesome, good to know!
Hi. Made the dish last night. Followed your recipe to the “t” with one minor cooking change. I dumped the frozen cauliflower rice in the instant pot once I sauteed the non-shrimp ingredients and then added the fire roasted tomatoes. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Perfect portions. Full of flavor. Looking forward to flipping through your other recipes.
Yay, so glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! So good!!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely LOVED this meal! It will be made again…and again!
It’s most definitely husband approved!
