I've been having a ton of fun with my Ninja Foodi. I've been making recipes from the cookbook that came with the machine and I've also ventured out on my own with these crispy pork carnitas and these chicken wings from frozen. 

This shrimp boil recipe came about one night when we were simply tired. We had just got home from a Saturday soccer game for my daughter. I wanted something different for dinner. We didn't want to go to a restuarant. This was the perfect recipe to make. My Ninja Foodi said "use me. " So I did.

How to Make Shrimp Boil in the Ninja Foodi

In order to make a Shrimp Boil in the Ninja Foodi, you will want to cook your food in batches. First, you'll add you andouillee sausage, red potatoes, corn, water, and seasonings and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes, with a quick release. 

Once your pressure is released, you'll add your shrimp and mussels, cover and cook on high pressure for 1 minute. Allow your pressure to natural release for 2 minutes and then quick release the remaining pressure. 

Dip your seafood in prepared garlic butter.

Can this be converted to use in other electric pressure cookers? 

Yes! I only used the pressure cook function for this recipe so you could use other electric pressure cookers for this recipe as well. 

I hope you enjoy this quick and easy Ninja Foodi recipe. Until the next recipe, enjoy 🙂

      Hi Manuel, I haven’t made it with scallops in the pressure cooker so I’m not sure. If you decide to give it a try please let me know.

    This recipe is a keeper! I used vegetarian sausage and frozen (thawed) shrimp because that's what I had. Super yummy!

      Hi Patty, the time I added lobster tails to this recipe I cooked it separatley. However, if you are going to add tails, I'dd add them in the initial cooking cycle of 4 minutes.

    What a sweet recipe. I’m going to add some crawfish to the mix and make black garlic butter for my dipping sauce. I have the Zataran boil in bags and it will be my first attempt at this wonderful dish.
