Instructions
Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and add olive oil to the bottom of the insert. Allow the oil to heat almost to the smoking point.
Use a paper towel or a clean kitchen towel to thoroughly dry the raw shrimp, then season with salt and pepper.
Carefully place the shrimp in the insert and sauté for 1 minute on each side.
Turn off the sauté function and add minced shallot, minced garlic, white wine, and water. Be sure to add the water last, so it doesn’t splatter in the hot oil.
Add the pasta, pressing it down with a wooden spoon until fully submerged.
Place on the lid, turn the valve to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to manual pressure / high pressure for 1 minute.
When done, perform a quick pressure release (QPR). Open the lid and add butter, lemon juice, red pepper flakes (if using), and parsley.
Toss to combine, then season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Notes
Be sure to pat the shrimp dry before seasoning and cooking.
Use fresh garlic and real lemon juice in this recipe.
The shrimp do not need to cook all the way through when you sauté. They will finish while you cook the pasta and will come out cooked perfectly.
If you prefer, you can swap the white wine for chicken stock or vegetable stock.
Scrape the bottom of the Instant Pot with a wooden spoon when you add the wine to remove any stuck-on bits.
Lay the pasta in a criss-cross pattern and press it under the water.
If the butter doesn’t melt immediately, replace the lid (with the Instant Pot turned off) and leave it to sit for 3 minutes.
Top with lemon zest for more citrus flavor.
The cooking time listed does not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure or to release the pressure.
Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 2 days.
