Open pressure cooker, using the Quick Release method. Stir in the shrimp. Cook until shrimp turns pink and firm, for further 2 minutes. Remove cooked lentil and shrimp stew from the pressure cooker and transfer to serving bowls. Serve hot.
There is not too much liquid here because I wanted a thick stew, similar to the casserole.
