Sheet Pan Cajun Butter Shrimp

  5.0 – 2 reviews  • Shrimp

Despite how affordable frozen salmon fillets are, I frequently forget to defrost them. In order to quickly and perfectly cook salmon fillets, this recipe instructs you to place frozen salmon fillets into your Instant Pot®. I add a honey-mustard glaze to the salmon before finishing it under the broiler for about two minutes. Delicious!

Sooooo delicious! Absolutely loved this shrimp recipe. I skipped the parsely, but otherwise followed the recipe. It was incredibly tasty. We paired it with homemade baked beans and homemade cole slaw
