If you know me by now, you know the Wandering RD only has time for EASY, REAL FOOD! (If you don’t know me, check out my recipes and you’ll learn a lot!) We all need convenience, but without the processed ingredients. So, you might need an Instant Pot! Then, this Instant Pot mushroom and spinach risotto meal is equal parts weeknight rescue and weekend retreat!
I love that it’s a one-pot meal, comes together quickly and contains all real food. My family loves that it tastes delicious and creamy! (And it’s gluten free!)
You can add the raw shrimp in at the last minute, or leave it out. We love it for the flavor and the boost of protein to this meal. Try it either way and let me know what YOU think!
