    Prawn Biryani Shrimp biryani

    February 1, 2023 By Anlet Prince Leave a Comment

    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 Biryani / Shrimp Biryani
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. Spices: Indian spices like cinnamon, bay leaves, cloves, Fennel Seeds, peppercorns and Cardamom.
    4. Onion: Medium sized onion can be used in this recipe.
    5. Tomatoes: Medium sized ripe tomatoes can be used in making this spicy rice with prawns.
    6. Ginger Garlic Paste: Blend equal quantities of Ginger and Garlic.

    How can we store Prawn Biryani?

    Biryani Tastes good when we serve hot. If you are serving the next day, Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. While serving reheat it and then serve.

    Keep in mind to reheat only the required portion as you cannot refreeze it the second time.
