Asian-Style Shrimp Scampi


A delicious Instant Pot dinner made in under 30 minutes (including prep and time to reach pressure)! My family likes to eat this light and buttery shrimp with linguini, but you can skip the pasta and make this a delicious low-carb or keto meal with vegetables on the side. Garnish with additional green onions.
