Notes
A few notes with cooking rice dishes in the Instant Pot.
Be sure that you press cancel after cooking the veggies and remove and “bits” that are stuck onto the bottom of the pot. Some instant pot models will give a burn notice if anything is “stuck” to the bottom of the pot, even if it’s not really burning.
This recipe calls for JUMBO shrimp and chicken CUTLETS, do not sub or shrimp may be overcooked and chicken may not cook fully if you use a thicker piece of chicken. This is why we love using cutlets in the instant pot when cooking rice dishes.
If you’re making this for kids or sensitive palates, feel free to throttle back on the creole seasonings. We like a full 2 tablespoons in this recipe but 1 tablespoon will be okay if you need to have less spice for kiddos.
