1

Warm the seafood stock in a microwave-safe container on High for about 3 minutes. Leave it in the microwave until needed.
2

Slice the green onions and separate the green parts from the white parts.
3

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot) and choose the Saute function. Melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion softens and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 1/2 minutes. Add the rice and thyme. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the rice starts to take on a little color, about 3 minutes.
4

Pour in the wine and cook, stirring, until it evaporates, about 30 seconds. Stir in the heated seafood stock, ensuring the contents of the pot move freely. Turn off the Saute function.
5

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure per the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.
6

Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method per the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Add the shrimp, peas, and reserved green onion tops. Close the lid and let the shrimp cook using the Keep Warm function, about 7 minutes. Open the lid and check that the shrimp are done.

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.
