Preparation

Step 1

Select Sauté or Browning on your Pressure Cooker cooking pot and allow to fully heat.

Toss in onions and garlic and Sauté for 3 minutes, or until onions begin to slightly brown.

Turn off heat. Add 1/2 cup of broth to the pot and deglaze. Add vegetables and all seasonings. Add Sherry and squeeze in 1/2 lemon. Pour in the rest of the broth.

Lock on the lid and close Pressure Valve. Cook at High Pressure for 7 minutes. When Beep sounds, allow a full Natural Pressure Release (about 15 minutes).

Select Sauté or Browning and add Shrimp or Scallops and/or Fish. Stir into hot broth until fully cooked.
****************
Added directions...After your Natural Pressure Release, turn off your Pressure Cooker and hit the Sauté or Browning button. If your Pressure Cooker does not have a Sauté feature, just push any button, so that your pot will heat up a bit, more than it would on just the Keep Warm function.

Add in Scallops, Shrimp (tails on or off), Crab (oh, that would be really good), a Hearty Fish like Mahi Mahi, Orange Roughy, Cod, etc. The heat in the pot will cook the Seafood quickly. Mix it through to cook.
*****************

Add Cream and heat through.
