Instructions
  1. Add butter to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
  2. When butter has melted, add onion to the pot and saute until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  3. Add Spice Mixture ingredients to the pot and cook for 1 minute or until spices are fragrant.
  4. Add rice and red pepper to the pot and stir well.
  5. Add broth and wine to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  6. Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  7. Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 6 minutes.
  8. When the time is up, quick-release the remaining pressure. Add the shrimp, scallops and frozen peas.
  9. Cook and gently stir until shrimp and scallops are cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed, returning to SAUTE mode as needed.
  10. (Optional) Arrange on a paella pan (or other wide, shallow, stovetop-safe pan) and set on the stovetop, uncovered, on medium-high heat until the bottom of the rice forms a crust, about 5 minutes.
  11. Serve family-style sprinkled with cilantro or parsley.

    I made this. It was so easy to do and it tasted great. I had all the ingredients on hand. I use saffron a lot. It is expensive but i buy on line you get so much more for only a few dollars more than a grocery store charges. Next time i am going to use frozen large sizespd shrimp and scallops and put it all in at once.

    Should add extra 1/2 cup or fill cup of chicken broth. Also reduced salt by half. I used chicken instead of shrimp. Cooked chopped chicken on sautee to start until all sides were white; removed from pot. Then started this recipe; added chicken back with scallops after rice pressure cooks. Big hit with family.
