Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine, lemon juice and zest, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil and let simmer 1 minute. Add 2 cups water, then add half of the pasta all in one direction and then the other half of the pasta in a criss-cross fashion. Top with the shrimp and half of the scallions.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 1 minute. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 5 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Using tongs, toss the pasta to evenly coat with the sauce and break up any clumps. Top with the remaining scallions and serve with salad and garlic bread if using.

Steps:

• Toss shrimp, wine, and garlic in cooker insert; season with salt and pepper. Lock on lid, making sure steam-release valve is in the proper sealed position. Select "Manual" and program for 1 minute at high pressure.
• As soon as the time has elapsed, turn off cooker, "Quick Release" the steam, and unlock lid. The shrimp should be opaque all the way through. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a medium bowl, leaving juices behind.
• Select "Sauté" and simmer liquid until reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Add butter and stir until melted and incorporated and sauce is thick. Return shrimp to pot, add parsley and lemon juice, and toss to combine. Transfer to a platter to serve.
