Everything we cook in our Instant Pot has few ingredients and is easy to make. That is practically the reason why I bought an Instant Pot in the first place. I needed a quick and easy way to get a home-cooked meal on the dinner table on busy weekdays. This Shrimp Alfredo recipe is one of my favorites because it is so quick and easy! Plus there is just one dishwasher safe pot to clean up!
We use the 8 qt. Instant Pot. I like it because I can use it for large or small meals.
We also use a digital cooking thermometer like this. If you have any question about what temperature something should be cooked at or reheated at you can check out FoodSafety.gov.
This recipe is enough to feed a family of four generous portions with some leftover.
We pair it with garlic bread and a side salad.

Ingredients – Instant Pot Shrimp Alfredo Pasta
- 1 lb. raw large deveined shrimp
- 2 cups of water
- 1 – 22oz jar Ragu Classic Alfredo Sauce
- ¾ of a 16 oz box of Penne Pasta Noodles
- 1 Knorr Chicken Stock Tub
- Seasoning of Choice
Instructions–Instant Pot Shrimp Alfredo Pasta
#1. First, put Instant Pot on sauté mode (high)
#2. Next add your two cups of water, Knorr Chicken Stock Tub, and Alfredo Sauce. Stir this all until mixed together.
#3. Then add your raw shrimp then Noodles on top. Do not stir just pat the noodles down with a spatula until they are all under the sauce. *Note- if you decide on longer stringy noodles rather than Penne you will need to break the long noodles into three sections before placing in the pot. This will keep the noodles from getting stuck together.
#4. Close the lid and turn the steam release valve to “sealing” position.
#5. Press the “Pressure Cook” button. Next, press “Pressure Level” button until you have selected “High Pressure”.
#6. Turn the timer on for 3 minutes. Once pressure builds up, the timer will start counting down. **Note– this is when you would prepare your garlic bread and or side salad.
#7. After the timer has completed wait about one minute for the sauce to settle then turn the steam release valve to “Venting” for a quick release of steam. **Warning – steam that is releasing is very hot and can burn you.
#8. Finally, after steam has released you can stir and serve. We add a little Tony Chachere’s for added flavor!
Final Thoughts
