I'm fortunate to live in Oklahoma where we have a lovely Vietnamese community. This is my Americanized version of coconut-caramel shrimp. It's made in an Instant Pot®, and while it can be made on the stovetop you'll use more pots and pans. I love serving this with jasmine rice cooked in coconut milk.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function on high heat.

Set timer to a total of 10 minutes.

Add 3 tablespoons coconut water and sugar.

Stir just once, then leave alone to bubble.

Meanwhile, place 1/2 cup coconut water in a microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave on high until hot, 1 to 3 minutes.

Once pressure cooker reads "Hot" the coconut water-sugar mixture should be an amber color.

Carefully pour the hot coconut water into the pot, using caution as this will cause steam to rise.

Add in fish sauce and shrimp.

Close and lock the lid.

Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes.
