My family loves seafood as well as rice dishes, so this is a clear winner with them. Best of all, it is all done fast, combines amazing flavors and is easy! As your pressure cooker cooks the rice, you can set your oven at its lowest temperature and use it to keep the cooked vegetables and shrimp warm without overcooking them. —Joyce Conway, Westerville, Ohio
