Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of Louisiana seafood boil into the bottom of the pressure cooker.

Place a steamer basket into the pressure cooker.

Add the frozen shrimp into the steamer basket.

Top the shrimp with 3-4 tablespoons of butter.

Close the pressure cooker lid and set it to steam for 2 minutes.

Wait for the pressure cooker to come up to pressure, which takes about 20 minutes.

Dump the shrimp into a serving dish, allowing any melted butter and juices to coat them.
