- 2 tablespoons cooking oil divided
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup onion chopped
- 1/2 cup carrots chopped
- 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white long grain rice rinsed and drained
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Turn on saute mode on the Instant Pot. When hot, add 1 tablespoon cooking oil. Add the eggs and scramble with a spatula until mostly cooked, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Add the remaining oil. Saute the frozen peas, onions, carrots and shrimp together in the pot until the shrimp is almost cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to the bowl with the eggs.
Pour in the rice and saute in the remaining oil for 30 seconds.
Pour in the water and deglaze the pan to remove any browned bits. Make sure rice is fully submerged.
Lock the lid on and set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. Allow a 10-minute natural release. Remove the lid.
Stir the rice. Add the reserved veggies and shrimp, along with the salt, pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir and rest on Keep Warm mode for 5 minutes. Serve.
