This steamed oysters recipe makes the shellfish easy to open up and tender without any rubbery texture. I've made baked, grilled, steamed oysters on the stovetop, and even air-fried oysters, but steaming in the Instant Pot is hands down the best method.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 20 freshs oysters in shells , rinsed and scrubbed clean
- 2 teaspoons Mexican-style hot sauce , such as Valentina®
- 0.5 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted

Pour water into a multifunctional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and set the trivet inside. Place oysters on the trivet. Close and lock the lid. Select the Steam function according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 2 minutes. Allow 15 minutes for pressure to build.
