I got the idea for this dish from a Food & Wine magazine recipe, though the original recipe felt confusing and unnecessarily complicated. I kept the flavors, but streamlined the cooking process, and added noodles to make it a complete meal. It’s important to use the right size shrimp and keep them cold right until they are cooked so they don’t overcook.
INGREDIENTS
- 14 oz coconut milk 1 can
- 2 cups loosely packed cilantro
- 1 jalapeno seeded and cut into chunks
- 1 scallion green part only, cut into chunks
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup Water
- 4 ounces Chinese wheat noodles I use KA-ME brand, or 4 oz (1 package) ramen noodles
- 10 ounces peeled shrimp refrigerated (about 21-25 shrimp)
- 6 – 8 oz broccoli florets
INSTRUCTIONS
-
In a blender jar, add the coconut milk, cilantro, jalapeño, scallion, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth. (Or place these ingredients in a deep, narrow container and use an immersion blender to purée.)
-
Pour the sauce into the inner pot and add the water. Select Sauté and adjust to High heat. Bring just to a simmer, then turn the Instant Pot off.
-
Break up the noodles into 3 or 4 pieces and place them in the pot in a single layer as much as possible. Layer the shrimp and broccoli over the noodles.
-
Lock the lid into place. Select Pressure Cook or Manual, and adjust the pressure to Low and the time to 0 minutes. After cooking, quick release the pressure.Unlock the lid. Gently stir the mixture until the broccoli and shrimp are coated with sauce. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.
