If you would like, you can add or substitute some cooked shrimp at the end of cooking.  We don’t normally have it on hand, so I left it out of the recipe.

  2. Add oil to inner pot, along with chicken and sausage. Cook until chicken is done, about 5 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and set aside.
  3. Add onions, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is translucent. Add additional oil as needed.
  4. If there is anything stuck to the bottom of the pan, add a little water to deglaze before continuing on.
  5. Add remaining ingredients. Put lid on and set to "Sealing". Cook at high pressure for 7 minutes.
  6. Let pressure naturally release for at least 10 minutes before manually releasing remaining pressure.
  7. This was very good served with Cholula hot sauce and Monterey Jack cheese. (Probably not authentic, but good anyway.)
