  2. Pour the chicken broth or water into the Instant Pot, then add the potatoes first so they cook evenly. Add corn over the potatoes, followed by the sliced sausages.

  4. After the pressure is completely released, open the lid, add the shrimp, and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning. Close the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 1 minute. Again carefully quick release when done.
  5. Squeeze half a lemon over the shrimp boil. Drain the liquid or serve with broth for dipping.
  6. Drizzle with melted butter and top with Old Bay seasoning, parsley, and lemon wedges.
  7. Serve hot with crusty bread or rice. Enjoy!
