Madrooba ribyan

Madrooba ribyan is a traditional Gulf shrimp dish, particularly popular in countries like Saudi Arabia. The term "madrooba" refers to a thick, porridge-like stew made by cooking grains such as wheat or rice with meat, chicken, or seafood until the mixture becomes soft and creamy. In this case, "ribyan" indicates that shrimp is the main ingredient. To prepare madrooba ribyan, shrimp is cooked with a blend of onions and garlic, with spices like bahārāt. The grains are added to the pot and cooked with the shrimp until they become tender and mushy, resulting in a hearty, flavorful dish. This dish is often served as a comforting meal during the cooler months or as a special dish during Ramadan and other festive occasions, embodying the rich culinary traditions of the Gulf region.
