Want to make it keto? Swap out the brown sugar!
This meal can easily be made keto by swapping out the brown sugar in the ingredients. Instead, use a keto sweetener like monk fruit. It's a one-to-one sweetener ratio, so simply use the same amount of monk fruit sweetener in this recipe to keep it keto.
Want a thicker sauce?
Make a cornstarch slurry! Mix together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water. Once the cornstarch has worked into the water, pour it into the cooked shrimp and broccoli in the Instant Pot and mix to combine. The sauce will thicken over the next few minutes, so give it some time and mix occasionally.
