Spicy Indian Shrimp Biryani

Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a large pan on medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook until the raw smell goes away.
3. Add the chopped green chilies and cook for a couple of minutes.
4. Next, add the shrimp, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and biryani masala. Mix well ensuring the shrimp is well coated with the spices. Cook until the shrimp is half-cooked.
