Instructions

Place the oil and butter in the cooking pot of the Cuisinart Pressure Cooker. Set on Sauté and let oil and butter heat for 2 to 3 minutes. When hot, add the chopped shallots, carrots, garlic, and tarragon. Cook, stirring now and then, until shallots are translucent and vegetables become aromatic, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in Arborio rice and cook, stirring frequently, until rice becomes opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine and salt , stir. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the rice has absorbed the wine. Add 4-½ cups of the broth/stock and stir. Cover and set on High Pressure for 6 minutes. When done cooking use Quick-Release Method to release pressure. Remove lid carefully, tilting away from you to allow steam to disperse. Set on Simmer. Add remaining ½ cup of broth/stock to rice and stir. Cook, uncovered, stirring now and then for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in shrimp. Cook, stirring, until shrimp begin to curl and turn pink, about 1½ to 2 minutes. Stir in sugar snap peas and cook for 1 minute longer, until peas are bright green and crisp tender. Serve in warmed soup plates with either shaved Manchego cheese or lemon slices. If desired, garnish each plate with a sprig of fresh tarragon.
