• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 stalks celery, diced
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 1 lb frozen shrimp

  (do not thaw)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 (796mL) can diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup beef broth

• Fresh parsley, for garnish
• 3 cups water
• 2 cups white rice
• 1 tsp butter

Instructions

• 1 Turn Instant Pot to saute mode. Saute sausage until browned, about 2-3 minutes.
  Turn off saute mode, remove sausages from heat and slice them on a cutting
  board.
• 2 Add sausage back to Instant Pot, then add in remaining ingredients in the order
  in which they are listed, except for rice, cornstarch slurry and parsley.
• 3 Place lid on Instant Pot and make sure valve is set to seal. Press the pressure
  cook button and set to high, then cook for 5 minutes. Instant Pot will take
  about 5-10 minutes to come to pressure then pressure cook for 5 minutes.
• 4 Meanwhile, cook ingredients under the rice heading in a rice cooker or on the
  stovetop. Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl.
• 5 Do a quick release of the pressure on the Instant Pot by flicking the switch at
  the top with a spoon. Open the lid when pressure gauge has dropped and the lid
  opens easily.
• 6 Turn Instant Pot back to saute mode, then stir in cornstarch. Saute mixture for
  3-4 minutes until thickened. Serve in large bowls, add rice and garnish with
  parsley, then serve and enjoy.
