Whenever I go to a Chinese restaurant, I always order the Lo Mein instead of the rice. There is just something about the noodles that brings the whole meal together. With that being said, now I don’t have to go out to have Lo Mein. This Instant Pot Lo Mein recipe allows me to have Chinese take-out without spending restaurant prices. In fact, I can use my Instant Pot to make all my favorite Chinese dishes right at home.

Instant Pot Shrimp Scampi Recipe
If you are looking for a restaurant quality seafood dish, you can follow this Instant Pot Recipe and make it at your own home.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup white onion, diced
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 lb. frozen, peeled shrimp, deveined
- 12 oz fettuccine noodles, broken in half
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 whole fresh lemon, squeezed
- 1 pinch sea salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
Turn your instant pot on "sauté" mode. Once it is hot, add to your pot the butter, olive oil, garlic, and white onion. Stir occasionally until your butter has melted, and your onion has softened. This should take about 3 minutes.
Add to your pot your frozen shrimp. Stir well allowing the shrimp to cook, as well as taking the flavors of the other ingredients in the pot.
Once your shrimp has cooked, remove the shrimp from the bowl. Set aside.
Add to the pot your chicken stock, water, juice from the lemon, and noodles. Mix well to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
Place the Instant Pot lid on and close the seal. Set your Instant Pot to high pressure for 6 minutes.
Once your Instant Pot is done, manually release by using a towel or hot pad to open the seal. You do this by bringing the valve toward you.
Once the steam has completely released, open your Instant Pot. Add in your shrimp to the pot and noodles. Mix well.
You can top with more lemon juice, fresh parsley, salt or pepper to taste, and/or parmesan cheese
