Instant Pot Low Country Boil
It’s that time of year when the beads are popping and the food gets down right spicy! It’s Mardi Gras season and what is Mardi Gras without a low country boil! This is a simple way to make a Instant Pot Low Country Boil at home in your kitchen.
Instant Pot Low Country Boil In Your Kitchen
No need for a boiler in the back yard. Don’t get me wrong those are great when your having a big party! However, if you don’t have a yard or want to make just enough to feed four this is the perfect way to make a low country boil.
In this recipe we used precooked andouille sausage from Zatarain’s. We also used Louisiana spices but we also change this up and use Slap Ya Mama. This is totally a matter of preference on what you like when it comes to seasoning.
Additionally, I only add a certain amount of seasoning when cooking in the instant pot. If a person likes theirs with a bit more spice I always leave the shaker out for them to top their own with more spice.
Corn In The Instant Pot
Specifically for the potatoes I use baby red potatoes. These are the small ones not the large red potatoes in the 5lb package. I use frozen corn however, fresh corn can be used. I would suggest if you use fresh corn then add it when you add the shrimp on the second round.
This is a great way to have two guests over with a few hurricanes (please drink responsibly) with a instant pot low country boil and some beads for added fun. This year is especially difficult to go out so make your own Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday fun at home!
