Shrimp coconut curry

Since we were home for lunch and I didn't want to eat leftovers, I thought I'd throw together this shrimp curry dish I found in the Indian Instant Pot book. The recipe is called Jhinga Nariyal Wala, shrimp coconut curry. 

I couldn't believe that it said only 3 minutes with quick release. Unfortunately it didn't quite work out. The shrimp were still very raw after only 3 minutes. It could be that it called for 26-30 count and I bought 16-20 or something like that, but the cooking liquid wasn't that hot either. 

I dumped the bowl into a pot and simmered it for a few minutes on the stove until it was done. The flavor was excellent, perhaps a little salty. Next time I'll just make this on the stove since 3 minutes Instant Pot doesn't seem to save any time or dirty dishes over a stovetop.

Note to self--next time a dish is meant to be cooked in a bowl inside the Instant Pot, I need some kind of sling to get it out easily. Something like this or this.

Tonight was butter chicken again. The recipe called for saving half the sauce for something else. Last time I left it in the fridge and never used it. This time I poured a can of corn into the leftover sauce. My wife and kids enjoyed this option. Other options apparently are tofu, vegetables, paneer. I like the idea of making something different with the same sauce.

Ground beef coconut curry and spinach, from the Indian Instant Pot cookbook . It came out delicious--rich, spicy, full of veggies. I tried to sell it to the family like an Indian beef luau. My son and wife enjoyed it, but my daughter (who loves beef luau) did not buy this comparison. She ate leftover beef luau from last weekend.
