Instant Pot Ribs from Frozen

Krysta
This frozen ribs Instant Pot dinner can be made without planning. Each rib portion should have 3 to 4 ribs. I use a spice called Red Rocks Hickory Smoke Seasoning from Savory Spice Shop, but you may use what you have. With only 3 ingredients, it doesn't get much easier!
