Ingredients

2 cups water
1 tbsp sea salt
2 lemons
2 lb jumbo shrimp deveined, fresh or frozen
Ice bath

Cocktail Sauce

3/4 cup sugar-free ketchup
1 1/2 tbsp horseradish
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp coconut aminos
1/2 tsp hot sauce

Instructions

Make the cocktail sauce by stirring all its ingredients together. Refrigerate while you cook the shrimp.
Add water and sea salt to the Instant Pot.
Halve the lemons and squeeze the juice into the pot, then add the lemon halves in as well.
Add shrimp and stir together.
Close the Instant Pot and set the steam release knob to Sealing.
Cook on High for 0 minutes. Make an ice bath while the shrimp is cooking. Quick release pressure. The time is the same for both fresh or frozen shrimp.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to the ice bath so they stop cooking.
Peel the shrimp. I like to leave the tail on so there's something to hold on to while eating.
Serve with cocktail sauce.
