    I agree on cook time. Pulled it at 8 minutes and it was still too long. Probably 6 to 7 minutes would be fine.

    I followed the suggestions in the other reviews and reduced time to 5 minutes and it was still a mushy mess. Flavor is good. But no one like mushy shrimp.

    I followed the directions exactly . Everytime it reached pressure id get a burn warning. Cancel and try again.
    Burn warning again . Rice kept sticking to the bottom .
    I cokls get the pressure build withiut repeatwd burn warnings ? . First time trying an instant pot . Not impressed

    Slime Green Cat,

    The burn warning would indicate that not enough liquid was used. If no additional liquid was added than it will repeat the burn notice.

    Founs the rice too soft. Did not read reviews before making so missed seeing recommendations to cut time back.

    I made this and it was delicious! Next time I will substitute the water for chicken or vegetable stock, add in mango chunks, apple chunks, pineapple chunks or raisins to give it the traditional sweet taste to compliment the savoury taste. I also decreased cooking time to 5 minutes.

    I made this last night for a dinner without gluten, using long grain brown rice, two pounds of shrimp, 1 cup of chicken stock, and at 5 minutes. Too much liquid but the shrimp was great, the rice of course soupy. But no IBS so it was a success. Next time i will use 3/4 cup and it will be perfect for two pounds of shrimp!

    Changed curry powder for cajun seasoning and followed recipe. Am really happy how dish turned out. Shrimp were succulent and perfectly cooked. Next time will add tomatoes and substitute long grain rice for arborio and use chicken stock instead of water.
    Cooking shrimp from frozen is the way to go in an Instant pot!!
