This is one of my all-time favorite dishes to make in the Instant Pot. It's so delicious. A true comfort food, good anytime of the year. You can adjust the heat in the amount of Creole seasoning you add. And if you don't like shrimp, leave it out, or replace it with chicken (just be sure to leave the chicken in for the entire cooking cycle, unless it's a precooked rotisserie chicken). If you can't find Andouille sausage, try smoked sausage or kielbasa, either the pork variety or turkey. If you can't find Basmati, use another long grain rice. Enjoy!
