Spicy Asian Instapot Shrimp

I had a craving for Chinese food but the points and sodium are way to high to order in. So I took a look at what I had in the kitchen...frozen shrimp, a bag of Brussel sprouts and some leftover mushrooms. Ok, I can make this work! 

This is what I came up with. And it was awesome! Even hubby said he like the sauce. I served it over Birds Eye Cauliflower Rice (3/4 of a cup for 0 points!). He, who doesn't like rice, ate it and said it was really good. That helps a lot when your partner will eat what you put in front of them. 

Ingredients: 

• 1 lb extra large shrimp (20)
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 cup of water
• 1 tbsp lite brown sugar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• Sesame seeds (optional)
• Scallions (optional)
• 1/2 Lemon

• Brussel Sprouts, halved
• Mushrooms

Directions: 

1. In a skillet, saute the Brussel sprouts and mushrooms while you are getting the shrimp ready.
2. Defrost, peel, devein shrimp and place in the pressure cooker.
3. Add 1 cup of water.
4. Mix all other ingredients up to and including the sesame oil in a bowl then pour over the top of the shrimp. 
5. Set Instapot to 5 minutes. When done, do a quick release. 
6. Mix a couple of tbsp of the sauce with the cornstarch and add to pot, stir well. 
7. Set the Instapot on saute for a few minutes until the sauce thickens. 
8. Add in the Brussel sprouts and mushrooms.
9. Squeeze 1/2 a lemon over the top for a pop of brightness. 
10. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and diced scallions to garnish.
