LOW-COUNTRY BOIL
You'll notice that the shrimp required in this tasty Instant Pot® recipe are frozen. Shrimp have a much lower cooking time than some of the other Low-Country Boil ingredients, so it helps if your shrimp are frozen so they don't overcook and dry out. If you have fresh shrimp, freeze them for an hour after cleaning before adding them to the dish.

LOW COUNTRY BOIL
Steps:
- Combine beer, water, and garlic in the pot. Stir to combine.
- Add corn, potatoes and sausage. Sprinkle the cajun seasoning (if using) and 1 tbsp of the Old Bay and over the top.
- Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
- Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- buttons and program the Instant Pot for 4 minutes.
- When the time is up, quick-release the remaining pressure.
- Add shrimp and sprinkle lemon juice and remaining 1 tbsp Old Bay over the top. Replace the lid and make sure the pot is still set to WARM. The residual heat will cook the shrimp. Check for doneness after 5 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove corn, potatoes, sausage and shrimp to a serving platter.
- Mix together butter and garlic powder. Pour butter mixture over the platter or serve on the side for dipping.
- Garnish with additional Old Bay and/or cajun seasoning. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Use fresh seafood. The fresher the seafood, the better the boil will taste. If you can, buy your seafood the day of the boil.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you overcrowd the pot, the seafood won't cook evenly. Make sure there is enough room for the seafood to move around freely.
- Season the water well. The water should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper, to taste.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the seafood. This will help to ensure that the seafood cooks evenly.
- Cook the seafood for the correct amount of time. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy. Cook the seafood just until it is opaque and cooked through.
- Serve the boil immediately. The boil is best served immediately, while the seafood is still hot. You can serve the boil with corn on the cob, potatoes, and sausage.
Conclusion:
A Louisiana Low Country Boil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a casual get-together.
