Notes
Another recipe made during the covid19 lockdown period. I had all the ingredients for my instant pot bang bang shrimp either in the store cupboard or freezer and so no shopping was required.
The results was really tasty and its one of the easiest recipes I've ever made.

Thanks for sharing this recipe. Looks nice. It is particularly ideal during this Lockdown period! I love prawns and you can add them to most dishes. They can be easily cooked and stored in the freezer which is great. Can't wait to give this recipe a try. I don't think I will add the carrots though. I might add some leafy greens and see what happens!
Hi Tosyn. I would also usually serve with broccoli or spinach, but they were not available so carrots it had to be. I hope you enjoy the recipe.
