Yum Yum Soup–easy Instant Pot shrimp soup with jasmine rice that’s finished off with a drizzling of yum yum sauce.
Yum Yum Soup
Are you a fan of yum yum sauce and shrimp? If so, you’ll love this soup! Skyler and I loved this shrimp soup with rice. It reminded me of a soup form of sushi. Greg is, sadly, allergic to shrimp so he did not get to partake but Skyler and I took this down in 2.2 seconds. I loved that there was almost a bite of shrimp in every bite of soup. The flavor was so good but not over the top. Try it! I think you’ll love this out of the box soup.
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Water
- Better than Bouillon chicken base
- Jasmine rice–you can also use sushi rice or regular long grain white rice
- Raw shrimp–I used frozen peeled, deveined, tail off shrimp
- Seasoned rice vinegar–I used Nakano brand
- Spinach–fresh or frozen
- Sesame seeds–I bought in bulk section at Winco
- Green onions
- Mayonnaise
- Soy sauce–I used low sodium
- Sesame oil
- Sriracha hot sauce
Steps
Add water, bouillon and rice into Instant Pot.
Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the soup button to 3 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. Stir in the shrimp.
Add in vinegar, spinach and sesame seeds. Cook until shrimp turns pink. Turn off Instant Pot.
Make the yum yum sauce by whisking together the mayo, soy sauce, sesame oil and sriracha.
Ladle soup into bowls and top with some diced green onion and a drizzle of yum yum sauce.
Notes/Tips

Tried this and it’s now my easy go to recipe at least once a week. 😋
Wow that is great news! Thanks Sherry!
Can’t wait to try this one, it’s next on the “list”. Just want you to know how grateful I am that you have this website & that you do all these amazing recipes for us to use. I promise you, if I hadn’t found this site my Instant Pot would probably still be in a box in the bottom of the closet!! Will be back with stars.
BTW, the ads don’t bother me one little bit. Small price to pay for the most delicious & easy recipes I’ve ever seen. Wish I’d had IP & your recipes 45 yrs ago when I started teaching & had NO time to cook, but had to do it anyway. Thanks SO much!
Beautiful, heartfelt comment. I feel the same way. Thanks, Karen, and FINALLY an IP shrimp recipe!
I love shrimp too Nick! Unfortunately, Greg is allergic so I always feel bad making it since he can’t partake!
ahhh, thanks Kim! I appreciate that. I always love reading your comments and your stories about your husband. I am glad the ads don’t bother you. It’s the only way I would work as much as I do since they are 90% of my income.
You go, girl! I don’t know why that guy complained about ads. Ads are EVERYWHERE nowadays. Guess that guy doesn’t watch TV, huh? I bet he does & complains about those ads as well. Some people are chronic complainers & they probably always will be. Sad.
I print all the recipes I like and put them in binders for easy use, but I still bought your cookbook because I know you get revenue from that. You deserve compensation for all the great work you do. I often brag about cooking in the IP, and it’s all because of what you’ve taught us. YOU GO GIRL!
Thanks Nick! you’re always so kind!
Can you use store bought Yum Yum sauce?
Love your website and have tried many of your recipes. I am generally not considered a good cook, however with your recipes and my IP I now am not embarrassed to have friends over for dinner!
Thank you and God Bless!
That’s so sweet. Thank you Debbie! Yes you can use store bought Yum Yum sauce!
Great recies but sooooo many ads your site!!
