Ingredients

For The Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced (about 2 cloves)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar honey, or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper or ground black pepper

For The Shrimp And Vegetables:

  • 24 oz 680g thawed raw shrimp
  • 1 zucchini sliced into 1/4-inch rounds and halved
  • 1 yellow onion quartered into wedges and halved
  • 6 mushrooms sliced into 1/4-inch slices

To Garnish:

  • Chopped green onion chives, or parsley
  • Toasted sesame seeds

For The Cornstarch Slurry

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Add the sauce ingredients to the Instant Pot: soy sauce, water, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic, sugar, sesame oil, and white or black pepper.
  • Next, add the shrimp, onion, zucchini, and mushrooms.
  • Cover with the lid, ensuring that the valve is in the sealing position. Press on the manual or pressure cook setting, and cook on LOW for 0 minutes.
  • Once the cooking is finished, quickly release the steam and carefully remove the lid.
  • If the sauce is not thick enough, either remove the vegetables or leave them in. Then add the slurry, which is 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of water. Cook on the sauté setting for 1 minute, and return the veggies after the sauce is thickened.
  • Serve over rice and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onion or parsley.

Notes

  • Opt for low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
  • For optimal results, use raw thawed shrimp.
  • Ensure zucchini and mushrooms are sliced into thick 1/4-inch slices to prevent them from becoming mushy. If you prefer firmer texture, cook them separately and add to the shrimp and sauce later.
  • Originally, the recipe called for half a cup of low-sodium soy sauce, but it has been adjusted to just a quarter cup based on feedback about the sauce being too salty.
