PRESSURE COOKER HERBED CHICKEN AND SHRIMP

Pressure Cooker Herbed Chicken and Shrimp image

Tender chicken and shrimp make a flavorful combination that's easy to prepare, yet elegant enough to serve at a dinner party. While I clean the house, it practically cooks itself. I serve it over hot cooked rice with crusty bread and a green salad. -Diana Knight Reno, Nevada
