Instant Pot Smoked Sausage Country Boil (video)

I’ve been seeing all sorts of recipes for shrimp boil in the Instant Pot but unfortunately Greg is allergic to shrimp. I decided to make my own version with smoked sausage and other fun added ingredients. I was so pleased with how it turned out. Very flavorful and I love how it’s a one pot meal.

Watch Instant Pot Country Boil video and how it takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish! Subscribe to my YouTube channel for Instant Pot stuff every week.

I decided to use a 1 minute pressure cook time for this recipe. I did this because I knew that green beans and corn don’t need much time. I used baby red potatoes and sliced them in half. I layered the ingredients so that the potatoes would cook on the bottom (closest to the heating element) and get done and then the corn and beans would not be overdone. I was so happy when I opened the pot and all the food was cooked (not overcooked or undercooked!) perfectly.

My Smith’s had a sale on smoked sausage so I stocked up. I used a garlic chicken sausage that was made by Hillshire Farm and it was so tasty. You can also use kielbasa or andouille sausage (or whatever you want).

Greg, Reagan, Reagan’s friend and I ate this up in no time! Skyler was sad when he came home and it was all gone. It was a hit. I loved drizzling the remaining juices over the top of my potatoes. It had so much flavor. So don’t forget to do that!

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?

To make Instant Pot Smoked Sausage Country Boil I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly.  It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.

Description

A one pot meal with tender red potatoes, sweet corn, fresh green beans and smoked sausage. A perfect summer meal with tons of flavor.ย 


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Old Bay Seasoning (OR 1 tsp seasoned salt,ย ยฝ tsp celery seed,ย 1 tsp smoked paprika,ย ยฝ tsp black pepper,ย 1 tsp garlic powder,ย ยฝ tsp onion powder,ย 1 tsp dried parsley,ย 1 bay leaf)
  • 1 cup water or broth
  • 1 ยฝ pounds petite red potatoes, washed and halved
  • 1 (13 oz) package smoked sausage of your choice, sliced into half inch rounds
  • ยฝ pound fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
  • 3 ears of corn, husked and cut into thirds
  • 2 Tbsp butter, cut into 8 small pieces
  • Optional: 8 oz shrimp

Instructions

  1. Pour water into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  2. Add in the potatoes in an even layer. Sprinkle about half of the Old Bay/seasonings over the potatoes. Add in the sausage in an even layer. Add in the green beans in an even layer. Sprinkle the beans with half of the remaining seasonings. Add in the corn in an even layer. Sprinkle the corn with the rest of the seasonings. Add in the butter on top of the corn. If using shrimp add it on top.
  3. Cover and secure the lid. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 1 minute. The pot will take a while to come to pressure. Once the minute of pressure cook time is up move the valve to venting. Remove the lid.

    I made this last night and it was a hit though next time I need to add more Bay Seasoning. I didn’t measure, I just sprinkled and the potatoes didn’t get much flavor. Instead of the corn on the cob, I used frozen corn so it wouldn’t be as messy to eat. My only problem is that I’m doing WW and it was high in points. ๐Ÿ™

    But Karen, I do want to tell you that this site is my go to for new IP recipes. Thank you!

    Delicious! I used 2 tablespoons of Old Bay and added shrimp. (The sausage was precooked chicken Andouille from Whole Foods.) The shrimp was frozen and stuck together. I got half a dozen pieces unstuck and put them on the top, but didnโ€™t want to thaw the rest and overcook them. The ones on the top were fine but just a tad overdone.

    When the boil was done everything except the liquid was put on a platter plus a plate (lots of food!) and I put the now thawed shrimp into the liquid to sautรฉ for under 2 minutes. Next time Iโ€™ll add a little more string beans; there was still a little room.

    Washing potatoes, cutting them, cutting out bad spots, washing string beans, trimming, prepping corn took about 30 minutes. (It was tough breaking/cutting the corn!) After that itโ€™s a breeze. Will make again.

        Absolutely. I prepped early and just put everything in the frig, with the potatoes in cold water. I have to say my husband and I loved this dish, and heated up the next day I thought it was even better with the flavors mingling overnight. We just heated our individual plates in the microwave for two minutes – no damage done. I was even dipping my corn in the juice since only my husband was there to see. Using two tablespoons of Old Bay plus the Andouille turkey sausage ramped up the heat a bit the next day too.

    This reminds me of my all time fave recipe of yours with potatoes, green beans and sausage with Cajun spice (I just leaves the mushrooms out). And this one will be a huge hit since Iโ€™m from Maryland, where Old Bay was born and raised! I have everything because I was going to make the other recipe tomorrow – except we have frozen ears of corn from the grocery store. Could they work, and if so, would they be added earlier? If not a slight postponement until next week. Thanks, so looking forward to it.

      I decided to postpone to get fresh corn, though am curious if frozen will work and may try it down the road.

      BTW, your prep times do not include washing veggies, shucking corn, snapping ends off of string beans, scrubbing potatoes, etc., right? Because doing that food prep will take me a good 15+ minutes. Or 20-25 if Iโ€™m honest. (Iโ€™m not slow as mud but not a speed pro either.)

      Thanks!

I canโ€™t wait. I donโ€™t have green beans but I thought peppers and corn would work! Iโ€™ll let you know how it went.

    This looks great. Instead of using all the seasonings, how do you think Old Bay would be? Do you think the flavor would conflict with the seasonings in the sausage?

    I used uncooked sausage since the recipe did not specify precooked. I also didn’t have cob corn so put in a can of corn (drained) and at the end, I still had a lot of water left. Thinking next time I’ll try just half a cup of liquid as the sausage likely released a lot

        No complaints, though I’d suspect fried sausage would give that extra what’s-it-called flavor to take it up a notch. Overall, everything still tasted great, but next time I might grill the sausage first and see how that goes. Or I might stay lazy and just toss it in uncooked ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Excellent!
    -Used Old Bay seasoning as substitute for all spices–about 2 Tbsp total and it was perfect (add more if you like more spicey)
    -The tiny red potatoes were super expensive so I used just red potatoes and cut into quarters/eighths. Worked fine.

    And yes the potatoes were cooked with just 1 min of pressure cooking!

    If I wasn’t gluten free, I would have made with toasted garlic bread. Yum!

    Definitely a family ‘keeper.’

      Hi Renee, it will take the pot about 10-15 minutes to come to pressure, 1 minute of pressure cooking time, about 3 minutes to quick release the pressure. So around 15 minutes give or take a few minutes. Hope this helps! It’s a tasty recipe

    So good! The spices are perfect and everything was cooked just right. The potatoes were some baby potatoes from our garden.

    I am using all fresh vegetables as called for in the recipe but I added a bag of frozen shrimp on top and because I am using my 8 qt pot I increased water to 2 cups. The recipe says to cook for one minute after reaching pressure. Should I cook longer because of the frozen shrimp?

      It will take longer to come to pressure so hopefully it won’t be overdone. You may need to increase the liquid amount so that it can reach pressure. You might want to heat up the water a bit so that it reaches pressure sooner.
