What Can I Substitute for Beer?

You can replace the beer with an equal amount of low-sodium chicken broth, low-sodium vegetable broth or water. For beer flavor without alcohol, try nonalcoholic beers or hop seltzers from your local breweries.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) bottle light beer or lager beer
8 ounces red baby potatoes, unpeeled and halved
8 ounces smoked turkey sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
2 ears fresh corn, shucked and cut crosswise into quarters
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons salt-free Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's), divided
4 teaspoons chopped garlic, divided
1 pound medium unpeeled raw shrimp, tail-on
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Lemon wedges (optional)

Directions

Place beer, potatoes, sausage, corn, salt, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the Creole seasoning and 3 teaspoons of the garlic into a programmable pressure multicooker (such as Instant Pot); gently stir to combine. Cover cooker with lid, and lock in place. Turn steam release handle to SEALING position. Select MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK setting. Select HIGH pressure for 4 minutes. (It will take 5 to 8 minutes for cooker to come up to pressure before cooking begins.)
Carefully turn steam release handle to VENTING position and let steam fully escape. (This will take 1 to 2 minutes.) Remove lid from cooker. Using a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes, sausage and corn from cooker to a platter.
Select SAUTE setting on cooker. Select HIGH temperature setting and let liquid in cooker come to a boil. Add shrimp; cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is opaque and just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to potato mixture on platter.
Continue cooking liquid in cooker until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 2 minutes. Add butter, lemon juice, parsley and remaining 1/2 tablespoon Cajun seasoning and 1 teaspoon garlic; stir until butter is melted. Turn cooker off. Pour sauce into a bowl. Serve seafood mixture with sauce and, if desired, lemon wedges.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
