How to Make Instant Pot Shrimp Boil
Place the trivet inside of the Instant Pot and place the potatoes and corn on top.
Place the washed crawfish on the potatoes and then add the seasoning over the crawfish. Then add the butter.
Do not mix everything together. You want to leave it as it sits.
Pour the beer and water over top and then place the lid on top.
Set it to 2 minutes. Once it is done, allow a natural release for 2 minutes.
Stir everything together and then let it sit for 5-6 minutes.
