1

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and choose the Saute function. Melt the butter in the pot. Add the shallot and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic and ginger to the pot and cook for 1 more minute.
2

Pour in the sherry and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let the sherry cook for 3 minutes, then press Cancel. Stir in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and pepper. Add the shrimp to the pot.
3

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure following the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 1 minute. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for the pressure to build.
4

Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method per the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in 2 tablespoons green onions and the sesame oil. Garnish with sesame seeds and the remaining green onions.
