1

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot) and choose the Saute function. Add the butter, then the celery, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over and stir to coat thoroughly.
2

Pour in 1 1/2 cups chicken broth while continuing to stir the vegetables. Add the beer. Place an elevated trivet on top of the mixture. Add the water and rice to a small silicone bowl and set it on the trivet. Cancel Saute mode. Seal and lock the lid in place.
3

Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.
4

Release the pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.
5

Switch back to the Saute function. Carefully remove the rice and trivet. Add the shrimp, cod, scallops, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire, salt, thyme, and cayenne to the Instant Pot.
6

Whisk the remaining flour with the remaining chicken broth in a small bowl. Pour it into the pot and mix together. Stir often and let it thicken and cook until the shrimp are bright pink, the cod flakes easily with a fork, and the scallops are opaque, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with a scoop of rice.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
