Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 small shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup Arborio rice
2 tablespoons dry white wine (such as Chardonnay)
2 cups chicken broth, divided
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ pound frozen medium shrimp - thawed, shelled, and deveined
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste

Steps:

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Once the panel reads HOT, add butter, shallot, and garlic. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Add wine and quickly deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Cancel Saute mode.
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Select Saute function.
Stir in shrimp and the remaining 1/2 cup of broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted, then add parsley. Serve immediately and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning to taste.
