Instructions
- Select the 'Saute' function.
- Add bacon to inner pot of Instant Pot and saute until crisp, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add onions, celery and garlic.
- Saute till vegetables have softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in flour and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Press 'Cancel' and add white wine to deglaze the pot. Stir to remove brown bits from the bottom of the Instant Pot. If not completely deglazed, add a tablespoon or two of broth.
- Stir in broth, milk, potatoes, corn, Chipotle, salt, black pepper and thyme.
- Close the lid and select 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' and cook for 1 minute.
- Do a Quick Release of Pressure (QR).
- Stir in shrimp and cream.
- Close the Instant Pot and allow the shrimp to cook in the residual heat for 10 minutes.
- Garnish each serving with scallions, parsley and/or crumbled bacon.
Notes:
- Prep time does not include steps that are already accounted for in the ingredient list, e.g. chopped onions, minced garlic, diced chicken, etc.
- Adjust the quantity of Chipotle chilies to taste.
- Instead of cooking the shrimp in the residual heat for 10 minutes, you can select the 'Saute' setting and cook the shrimp until done, and stir in the cream to heat through.
