Oh this just makes my day! So thrilled to hear you are enjoying my recipes!

[@gdlb143]

I’m sorry I was wrong earlier. I’ve actually made 4 of your recipes and they have all turned out perfectly. I forgot about your corned beef and cabbage. Delicious!

[@Molliecarson]

Just made this recipe for the first time. It was super delicious. Thanks so much!

I made this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely amazing. I had been eyeballing this recipe for a few weeks and had a long day at work today so I figured this would be quick and easy. Everyone in my family loved it and we will definitely be making this a staple in our house!!

[@AMindFullMom]

Great to hear! Thanks for sharing! I love knowing it made your day a bit easier.

Made this for my Birthday, it was delish. I wish I would have made the Spice mix, I bought the Old Bay at the store. OMG Salt Lick, and really heavy on what tasted like Celery, it just did not seem like a balance mix of spices. I will keep experimenting and this recipe is a great place to start.

[@AMindFullMom]

SO glad you loved this recipe (and happy belated birthday). I would try the homemade version--it won't be as salty :)

[@angelehrhard7952]

Have you tried the Old Bay 30% less salt one? Garlic can help cut the taste of the celery. I use fresh garlic but powder can be fine too. The homemade recipe you can control the amounts and make it more to your likening. Just remember potatoes do absorb the salt, so you don’t want to take to much away. Anytime something is over salted a raw, peeled potato cooked in the dish can help absorb it and save the dish in most cases. Just don’t over cook the potato to mushy. Taste as your cooking it. I’m a heart patient so it’s little tricks I learned from my family growing up so I could eat without swelling up like a balloon lol.

@@AMindFullMom I might have been off since I used an 8 quart for my instant pot Lol.

I too have a chronic illness. I have psoriatic arthritis. Instant pot is a dream and Deneen it’s done and there’s leftovers I put my rubber top on my pot and but it in the fridge for tomorrow because tomorrow may be a bad day. Bless you and thanks 🙏 for your recipe

[@AMindFullMom]

Wishing you all the blessings as well! I understand good days and bad days--and never knowing when a bad day will be. Wishing you more good days than bad!

Looks great! Will give it a try. Love your top!

[@AMindFullMom]

Hope you like it! And thank you!!!

[@patriothippie5881]

This turned out amazing ! I've now done this similar meal three different ways. Foil wrapped on the grill, aluminum pans in the oven and now your instant pot variation. This is my favorite !!! The only thing I did differently was that I sliced the lemon last and put the slices on top of everything. Very delicious and thank you. Oh ... also decided to use stock and drink the beer while waiting 🤣

[@AMindFullMom]

I love hearing this one is your favorite! Thanks for commenting.

[@reneecorley61]

That sounds great!

I hope you try it!

What state are you from or state your recipes come from? I’m from Louisiana and this is very different than ours. Each southern state does the same type of meals with some differences. I only ask because when I use a recipe and asked about it I can tell my guest it’s a southern ___?name of state?___ recipe otherwise I won’t use it because of the style of dinner parties we do with guest and they do with us. Guess it likes Tastes of the States. We all like to try different areas of the. Country and the world and keep the meal based around where it came from. Our guest or when we are theirs try to figure out the place/state. It’s really fun once a month to do with friends. Yours sounds like a FL or east coast southern style where our normal cooking style on a day to day basis is more Cajun and sometimes Creole. We even have a little Texas on some of ours. It looks amazing!

[@AMindFullMom]

Hey! I am in North Carolina but thus is more inspired from my visits to Charleston, SC. I love that you share origin of recipes.

[@brycemorrill8764]

Love it

Only 2 minutes?!

[@AMindFullMom]

It really does work!!! Amazing!

[@b1grich]

You know that shrimp tastes rubbery

[@AMindFullMom]

In my opinion, it all comes down to how you cook it. Cooked right, it should not be rubbery.

[@b1grich]

@@AMindFullMom isn’t that the point of the video? How to cook it. I’m saying using that method being frozen it turns out rubbery

[@AMindFullMom]

@@b1grich I thought you were stating all shrimp tastes rubbery. But following this method, I have never had it turn out rubbery. Did you make this yourself?

[@TheNickKerr]

@@b1grich lmaooo that’s right hush now, stay quiet kid, you don’t know what ur talking about, stop hating

[@chantalalison-konteh1316]

I made this and it was NOT rubbery
