INSTANT POT® FRESH STEAMED OYSTERS WITH SPICY BUTTER

Instant Pot® Fresh Steamed Oysters with Spicy Butter image

I have baked, grilled, steamed on the stovetop, and even air fried oysters, but steaming in the Instant Pot® is hands down the best method. They are easy to open up and tender without any rubbery texture whatsoever.
