Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 shallots roughly chopped
2 small carrots minced
2 cups of medium Calrose rice or substitute other rice
2 ½ cups of chicken broth

Instructions

Turn your Instant Pot to saute and add in your butter and let it melt. Then stir in your thinly sliced shallots. Make sure to stir continously or it will burn.
Once your shallots are fragrant you will add in your rice, carrots, and chicken broth. Turn off the saute feature.
Place your lid on your Instant Pot and select high pressure for 5 minutes. Make sure your Instant Pot is set to sealing.
Then once your timer goes off allow it to natural release for 5 minutes. Then follow a quick release to push off the rest of the pressure.
Stir well and then garnish with parsley.
Serve up your rice pilaf and enjoy.

Notes

If you want to cook shrimp like I do, just remove the pilaf and then add in 1-2 tablespoons butter, and toss raw shrimp and cook it on saute. Cook until your shrimp is fully cooked.
