Prawn Biryani Shrimp biryani is one of the treats for seafood lovers. Prawn Biryani is a dish that combine Fresh Prawns and Flavourful Basmati rice along with Biryani masala to make a delicious treat. This is typically served for lunch or dinner. I served it alongside onion raitha and egg kheema fry. Unlike other non veg biryanis shrimp biryani can be prepared quickly as prawns take very less time to cook.

Ingredients
- Prawn / Shrimp The freshness of the prawn plays a key role in the taste of the biryani. Prawns are a rich source of selenium, one of the most effective antioxidants at maintaining healthy cells. They also contain high levels of Zinc, which is important to develop a healthy immune system. Eating prawns helps build strong bones because they contain phosphorous, copper and magnesium.
- Basmati Rice always use premium quality basmati rice for flavorful biryani. I washed and soaked the Basmati rice for 30 mins before making the biryani which is a key to achieve fluffy long-grain biryani.
- Spices: Indian spices like cinnamon, bay leaves, cloves, Fennel Seeds, peppercorns and Cardamom.
- Onion: Medium sized onion can be used in this recipe.
- Tomatoes: Medium sized ripe tomatoes can be used in making this spicy rice with prawns.
- Ginger Garlic Paste: Blend equal quantities of Ginger and Garlic.
