Biryani Shrimp

For seafood lovers, Shrimp Biryani is one of the most flavorful ways to enjoy biryani. At Curry Gate, we combine juicy, well-spiced shrimp with fragrant basmati rice and a rich blend of whole spices. It's aromatic, satisfying and full of coastal-inspired flavor.

Seafood biryanis are a specialty of India's coastal regions, where shrimp and fish have long been cooked with bold spices and rice. Our Shrimp Biryani starts with tender shrimp marinated in yogurt, ginger, garlic, chilli and warm spices, then cooked in a fragrant masala of caramelized onions and tomatoes. It's layered with long-grain basmati rice, whole spices like cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and bay leaf, and fresh mint and cilantro.

The biryani is slow-cooked in the traditional "dum" style, sealed so the steam locks in flavor. The rice absorbs the aroma of the spices and the savory juices of the shrimp, so every grain is fluffy, separate and full of taste. The shrimp stay plump and tender, with a light sweetness that pairs well with the warm spices.

Make it just the way you like it. Choose your spice level from 1 to 10 when you order, from a mild, aromatic 1 to a fiery 10 for true spice lovers. For the classic experience, pair it with a cool side of raita, a squeeze of lemon and some sliced onions. A Mango Lassi also balances the spice nicely.

Shrimp Biryani is a hearty meal on its own and a great choice when you want something a little different from chicken or lamb.
