We also love Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks Recipe. The bread sticks are perfect for dipping into the yummy sauce.

EASY and DELICIOUS!!’
Confusing: it says to add everything to the IP except the Parmesan and the “angel hair parsley.” I think the angel hair pasta goes in the instant pot, and only the Parmesan and parsley are add it after it’s cooked.
I’m so sorry for the confusion. I have updated the recipe. Add the shrimp, lemon juice, garlic salt, pepper and chicken broth. Add the lid and cook this on high pressure for 2 minutes with a quick release. Thank you.
Easy and delicious my family loved it I made 2 batches one with shrimp and one with chicken for the ones that don’t like seafood and it turned out ? tasty.
Which type of shrimp is better for the recipe? The post says to use pre-cooked shrimp but the printable recipe says to use raw shrimp?
