A quick and easy to make Instant PotⓇ soup with such incredible flavors! This recipe was a very big hit with my family and friends. It is a simple recipe that I will be making over and over again in my Instant PotⓇ.

I had a similar keto instant pot thai shrimp soup at a restaurant recently and found myself craving it and wondering if I could recreate it today.
I added some zucchini for a little more veggies and used wild caught shrimp, my husband said it tastes like our favorite Thai restaurant… this is a super easy recipe and tastes delicious
Thank you. Joy, for trying the recipe and letting us know about your zucchini addition. I will have to add that in next time. I always have zucchini in the fridge.
Can you suggest a good curry paste?
