Ingredients
  

  • spray oil
  • 3 links (212 grams) chicken andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1 whole (130 grams) red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 whole (130 grams) green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3/4 cup (75 grams) celery, chopped
  • 1 cup (100 grams) white onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 can (411 grams) diced tomatoes, 14.5 oz can, with juices
  • 2/3 cup (140 grams) basmati rice, rinsed
  • 2 tsp cajun seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 12 oz cooked, peeled & deveined shrimp, THAWED

Instructions
 

  • Set your Instant Pot to "saute". Once it's heated, lightly spray Instant Pot liner pot with oil and add sliced sausage in a single layer. Cook on one side for 2 minutes, until lightly brown. Flip and cook on other side. Remove sausage and set aside.
  • Add in the garlic, bell peppers, onions, and celery and continue to saute. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables start to release their juices. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits.
  • Next, add in the rice, diced tomatoes, spices, and 2/3 cup of water.
  • Give it a good stir and turn off "saute feature."
  • Put on lid, and set Instant Pot to "manual pressure" for 6 minutes.
  • Once it's finished cooking, let the Instant Pot continue to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, release any remaining pressure and open lid.
  • Remove bay leaf, and add in thawed shrimp and browned sausage. Gently stir to combine.
  • Let sit for about 5 minutes. The residual heat will warm the shrimp.
