Complete a controlled quick release when done and immediately remove the inner pot to another surface. Set to pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. If you don't have a steamer basket, place the shrimp on top of the tomatoes. Toss with the remaining spice mix and put the basket into the inner pot, on top of the layered ingredients. Place the frozen shrimp into a steamer basket.Layer the garlic, onions, and fire roasted tomatoes on top of the ziti.Sprinkle ½ of the spice mix on top of the ziti and broth. In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, black pepper and salt.Push the ziti under the broth with a wooden spoon so that it's in an even layer and covered by the broth.

It takes about 5 minutes of prep and 3 minutes of pressure cooking (with a 10 minute wait for the pot to come to pressure). Instant Pot Cajun pasta is simple and quick to make. Substitute with whole milk or evaporated milk for a "lighter" sauce.Ĭhicken Broth: chicken stock, vegetable broth, or vegetable stock can all be used instead. Heavy Cream: heavy cream creates a rich creamy sauce. Yellow onions or shallots can be used instead.
Sweet Onions: sweet onions give this smokey meal a tiny hint of sweetness. You can substitute with large frozen shrimp, but don't go any smaller than that. If you use raw, they will likely turn rubbery in the 3 minutes of pressure cooking time. Jumbo Frozen Shrimp: always use peeled frozen since shrimp cooks quickly. You can skip the parmesan and use all mozzarella, too. Parmesan: use freshly shredded parmesan or pecorino romano. Bags of shredded cheese will not melt nicely into soups, broths, and stews because they are coated in preservatives. Whichever cheese you use, make sure to freshly shred it so it melts smoothly. White Cheddar: extra sharp white cheddar gives the best flavor here, but you can substitute with mozzarella or use all parmesan. But if you love smoky-flavored meals, fire roasted tomatoes are the way to go. Because the seasoning uses smoked paprika, you can use a can of diced tomatoes or homemade roasted tomatoes to eliminate just a bit of smokiness. Ziti, penne, rigatoni, shells, elbows, linguini, fettuccine, and pappardelle are good choices.įire Roasted Tomatoes: these tomatoes give your meal a subtle smoky flavor so they are used often in Cajun-style cooking. You don't want to overcook the shrimp by choosing a pasta that takes longer to cook. Pasta: the key with your pasta choice is to use one that will cook in 3 minutes and is intended for a creamy sauce. A store bought Cajun seasoning can be substituted. For a less smoky meal, use sweet paprika or regular paprika. The smoked paprika gives the seasoning that traditional flare of Cajun cooking.
