Ingredients

1 pound andouille sausage
1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
½ stick butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 bell pepper diced
3 celery stalks diced
1 onion diced
4 garlic cloves minced
2 tablespoons creole seasoning
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons hot sauce franks works well
10 oz okra frozen and sliced
14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
4 cups chicken broth

Instructions

Turn your saute feature on the Instant Pot. Add your oil in followed by your andouille sausage. You will cook your sausage until it is browned, stir frequently.
Once done remove your sausage from the Instant Pot. Then you will start to work on your roux.
Add in your butter and once melted, whisk in your flour. Make sure to stir constantly or it will burn. Mix for around 10 minutes. You want your roux to be a peanut butter texture, and the color will darken as it cooks. The darker the color the richer the flavor.
Once done, turn your saute feature off. Pour in your sausage and onions, peppers, celery, okra, creole, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce along with the chicken broth. Use your wooden spoon to stir and scrape bottom to make sure nothing is stuck on, or it will give you a burn notice.
Once bottom of pot is clean, add your crushed tomatoes on top of the mixture. Place lid on your Instant Pot making sure your valve is sealed.
Do high pressure for 10 minutes, followed by a quick release. If liquid squirts out, do a controlled release where you let presure off slowly.
Take the lid off and toss in your shrimp, and turn saute on, and cook until the shrimp is fully cooked.
Spoon up your Instant Pot gumbo and devour. I served mine with white rice as the side.

Notes

You can add chicken as well, just dice up into cubes, and saute with the sausage to brown it up. Then remove and finish cooking when you pressure cook. It will add more flavor to this pressure cooker gumbo!
