Ingredients

1 pound raw shrimp I used large size (deveined)
1 Sausage Andoulie or Kielbasa thinly sliced
1 small onion sliced
1/4 cup water
1 - 16 oz Lager Beer
3 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
3-4 corn on the cob cut into smaller pieces
6-8 yellow or red potatoes sliced
Lemon Slices optional
Parsley optional

Butter Topping (optional)

1 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning

Instructions

Prep your shrimp boil ingredients, and then take your potatoes, sliced Kielbasa sausage, and onions and place into Instant Pot. Add in 3 tablespoons of Old Bay Seasoning. Give it a quick stir.
Top with the corn, and then pour your beer in, and 1/4 cup water. Do not stir, cover, and make sure the lid is to sealing. Do 5 minutes of high pressure, and a quick release.
Now, toss in your frozen shrimp, and place the lid back on. 1-minute high pressure with the lid sealed. Followed by a quick release.
While your shrimp is cooking you can heat up a stick of butter, garlic, and Old Bay seasoning on the stove. Do low heat, and stir until melted.
Once your shrimp boil is done, you can drizzle with the butter mixture if you would like. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon, or parsley if you would like, or pair with shrimp cocktail sauce.

Notes

You can add mushrooms or crab legs at the same time you would add shrimp. Then do 1-minute high pressure with a quick release.

If your shrimp if not frozen, then do 0 minutes high pressure with a quick release.

Feel free to swap out ingredients to fit your preference.

Any type of lager beer will add great flavor. If you don't want to use beer reach for a chicken broth or stock.

Season to your liking. You can spice it up or keep it kind of mellow in the spice department.
