Instant Pot Creamy Ricotta Corn and Shrimp Pasta – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Corn season is definitely here, so start your shucking for this Instant Pot Creamy Ricotta Corn and Shrimp Pasta.

I used two ears of corn, which brought enough of that sweet golden taste to this dish to highlight the pasta and shrimp, while keeping the pasta as the star of the show.  So, I thought I’d make it simple and add a bit of whole-milk ricotta and just a tablespoon or two of cream after cooking, to create a creaminess that gives the noodles the right amount of coating without overpowering it.

I used my Bundt pan to cut the kernels from the cobs (check out my Reel on Instagram @genabellrecipes) — it’s a great technique to ensure the corn isn’t all over the floor.  For the shrimp, I used jumbo prawns because that’s what I had on hand, and I sliced them lengthwise through the tail, but you could use large shrimp as well.  My pasta here are two different kinds because I had a little rigatoni and some cavatappi that needed to be used in my pantry, so go with a larger short cut noodle in this recipe.  The trick to a creating this pasta meal in an electric pressure cooker is to sauté the onions, garlic and corn, and add the liquids and dried pasta, then cook.  Remove the lid and stir in the shrimp and let them steam in the hot cooked pasta, so they don’t over cook.  The ricotta and touch of cream are added last, right before serving.
