Instructions

1. Put the butter, oil, garlic, shrimp and vermouth into the Cuisinart Pressure Cooker.  Secure the lid and select Low pressure. Turn heat to high until pressure cooker reaches full pressure. Reduce temperature to maintain pressure* and set a timer for 1 minute.

2. When time expires, release pressure by selecting quick pressure release. When the red safety valve drops, remove lid. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir in lemon juice and parsley.  Serve over rice.

* Unit reaches full pressure when red safety valve pops up and steam releases continuously from the pressure release valve. Regulate pressure by reducing temperature to medium/medium-low to maintain full pressure. There should be slight steam and consistent hissing from the pressure release valve.

Keep a close eye on the pressure cooker when cooking. Some adjustment of temperature may be necessary to maintain pressure.
