Shrimp with Coconut Milk
What’s more, it’s a healthy shrimp recipe with no packages or mixes.
I’ve been struggling to get shrimp done just right in an Instant Pot . Okay, I’m not sure why I’m even trying. Shrimp cooks so quickly it should be a non-issue to cook it stove top. But this recipe actually turned out so good that the recipe has even become a favorite of my readers .
Some of it is just that I don’t like failing and I failed with shrimp in a Instant Pot two or three times and it irritated me.
Shrimp is too expensive to waste like that anyway. So I was determined to try it. With thawed shrimp, not even frozen, which would have been easier.
So I decided the only way this would work in an Instant Pot is Pot-in-Pot.
By the way, before you decide you don’t have an Instant Pot and couldn’t be bothered with reading this, I’m also going to show you how to do this stovetop.
How To Cook Shrimp With Coconut Milk
- Toss Shrimp with spices and full fat coconut milk
- Cook in Instant Pot using PIP (pot in pot) for 3 mins Low pressure, QPR or
- Cook in a pan until shrimp are done

To cook this easy keto dinner on the stovetop, the directions couldn’t get simpler. Toss the shrimp with the spices and full fat coconut milk. Add everything to a pot, and turn the heat to medium. Cook until the shrimp are cooked through, no longer than 10 minutes. Serve with your side.
Coconut Shrimp Sauce
This shrimp recipe is quick cooking and delicious. You toss all the spices together with the coconut milk and cook it all together. Serve it with noodles, vegetables, or rice. When you cook the shrimp in the Instant Pot, the pressure not only cooks it quickly, making this a perfect easy weeknight meal, but it also melds the flavors of the sweet and nutty coconut milk with the shrimp.
The Coconut shrimp sauce is perfect to serve over rice or pasta. You can use cauliflower rice to keep this a low carb recipe. Just spoon some extra coconut sauce on top of your rice….delicious! My Green Beans

Make an authentic Maharashtrian Masalé Bhat in your instant pot or pressure cooker. Check out my Goda Masala Recipe for a special spice mix to create your own fresh spices for this rice.
This Masalé Bhat is without a doubt, one of my favorite ways to eat rice. I waver between this recipe and the Chicken Biryani recipe but they’re two entirely different things (which means, more reason to eat two variations!) To make this rice, you will first need to make the Maharashtrian Goda Masala recipe here.
Trust me, this Masalé Bhat is worth the small effort it takes. The rice itself is simplicity itself, especially if you double up on the Goda Masala and have some left over. As to what vegetables to add, I used cabbage, onion, and green peppers, but you can use any quick-cooking vegetable (as in, no artichoke or spaghetti squash).
As you can see from the list of ingredients below, this Masalé Bhat recipe is simplicity itself.
