INSTANT POT INDIAN SHRIMP BIRYANI
The multi-cooker makes this dish an easy clean-up -- the shrimp and spices are first sauteed in the pot, then the rice is cooked using the pressure-cook function. The result is a super-quick, flavor-packed dinner that's perfect for a weeknight.

Steps:
- Mix the yogurt with the mint and cilantro in a small bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Toss the shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon of the curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Turn a 6-quart Instant Pot® to the saute setting (see Cook's Note) and add 4 tablespoons of the butter. When melted, add half of the shrimp and cook, tossing once or twice, until the shrimp are just turning orange and starting to brown but are not completely cooked, 3 to 4 minutes; transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. Set aside.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the ginger, turmeric, paprika, garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder and cook until the garlic and ginger are softened and the spices are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rice, 1 1/2 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper and stir to combine.
- Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 3 minutes.
- After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being care of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Add the shrimp to the pot and stir to combine with the rice. Turn the pot to the normal saute setting and put on the lid. Let the shrimp cook until completely opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve in bowls with a dollop of herbed yogurt.
EASY CURRIED SHRIMP
This is my mom's recipe - it's very quick to make. I used to make this in college every Friday during Lent. You can make the curry start to finish in the time it takes the rice to cook. The amount of curry and ginger is the starting amount; I use up to twice that much, but adjust it to taste.

PRESSURE COOKER SHRIMP BIRYANI
The key to cooking shrimp biryani in an electric pressure cooker is to buy jumbo shrimp, which won't overcook in the amount of time it takes to cook the rice. This version, from Chandra Ram's "The Complete Indian Instant Pot Cookbook," is bright with ginger root, fresh curry leaves and plenty of lime juice. Kashmiri chile is a very mild red chile powder that can be found in Indian markets, but if you can't get it, substitute three parts sweet paprika and one part cayenne. And if you can't get the fresh curry leaves, simply leave them out. The dish won't be quite as fragrant, but will still be delicious.

Steps:
- Place the rice in a bowl and cover with 2 cups water. Let stand for 20 minutes, then drain and rinse.
- Heat oil in the pot of an electric pressure cooker with the sauté function set on high, until oil is shimmering. Add onion; cook for about 4 minutes, until softened. Stir in Serrano chile, ginger, garlic, salt, chile powder, turmeric, paprika and curry leaves; cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Stir in boiling water; using a wooden spoon, stir, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Stir in soaked rice, shrimp and tomatoes (with juice).
- Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. Quick-release the pressure, stir lime juice into the rice, then cover the pressure cooker with a kitchen towel and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Give rice a stir, then taste and add more salt, if needed. Transfer to a platter, garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
