Murabyan (Rice and Shrimp Dish)

Kuwait murabyan is a very popular and much loved dish. The national dish is called machboos which we made for Bahrain and would be very appropriate as a main dish for Kuwait as well. This dish murabyan, is loaded with shrimp in the rice and has more in the topping. Shrimp is popular in Kuwait as they are found in the Gulf. The dish is flavored with sauteed onions, turmeric, coriander and dried loomi (a dried black lime). The result is a delicious combination of flavors that is sure to satisfy. We enjoyed this dish with pickled turnips and a simple salad. Enjoy!
