Shrimp Biriyani

Biriyani is a dish made with fragrant basmati rice with meat or vegetables along with yogurt, spices and herbs. To accompany our shrimp fried rice, we wanted to introduce a new recipe - shrimp biriyani - that encompasses both rice and shrimp. Unlike the more common chicken or mutton biriyani, we are providing a new variation of biriyani that is packed with flavor and aromatics.
