Ingredients

Directions

Combine water, peanuts, salt, Creole seasoning, and liquid crab boil seasoning in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot); stir. Close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 180 minutes (3 hours). Allow 25 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 25 minutes. Unplug the cooker but keep the lid on. Let peanuts sit for 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Cook's Note:

The peanuts are done at the 3 hour 50 minute mark, but I highly recommend waiting 2 hours more for maximum flavor.
