Instant Pot Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta Recipe (Pressure Cooker)Bold and spicy Easy Instant Pot Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta, an easy pressure cooker dinner you can make in minutes!

I caved… After months, no, at least a couple years of resisting the Instant Pot, I finally broke down and bought one.

For the longest time I told myself the last thing I needed was another countertop appliance. After all, we own several slow cookers, a multi-cooker, and every other kitchen gadget imaginable.

How great could the Instant Pot be?!

Since my recent Instant Pot purchase, I’ve been IPing many new recipes in it, in order to see how it effects cook time, taste, and texture.

What a shock to discover pasta is perfectly pressure cooked in 4 minutes in the Instant Pot! Preparing pasta this way removes several steps, like draining off hot boiling water, so you don’t waste time and energy in the kitchen. This also reduces pasta safety hazards.

Plus, Easy Instant Pot Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta tastes amazing.

It’s the perfect way to create a little excitement at the dinner table on a cold winter’s night!
