Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Press Sauté on the Instant Pot, add 1 tablespoon butter and heat until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the finely chopped celery, bell pepper, and onion; cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Stir in the Creole seasoning. Add the clam juice and top with the chopped tomatoes; do not stir.
-
Step 2.
Cover and lock the lid. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. While the vegetables cook under pressure, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the flour on a plate using a fork to make a smooth paste.
-
Step 3.
Use the quick release method to release pressure. Press Sauté and bring the vegetables to a simmer. Stir in the flour-butter paste; simmer the sauce, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute.
-
Step 4.
Stir in the shrimp, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and salt. Replace the lid slightly ajar and simmer until the shrimp are just opaque, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
-
Step 5.
With potholders, remove the pot insert and stop cooking. Cover and let stand 1 minute. Taste and add additional hot sauce and/or salt if needed. Serve over cooked white rice.
