Shrimp Fried Rice

• 2 tablespoons peanut oil
• 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions w/ tops
• 1/2 teaspoon peeled & minced fresh ginger root (I use grated)
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 1-pound package shrimp, thawed (I use medium-size)
• 1 small package frozen peas
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (option to use more when serving)
• 2 cups cold cooked rice
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

Use wok (or large heavy skillet if you do not have wok). Heat oil in wok at 325 F. Add green onions, ginger, and garlic and stir and fry 1 minute. Add eggs; stir to scramble into small pieces. Add sugar, shrimp, peas, and soy sauce; stir-fry 2 minutes. Add rice; stir-fry 30-45 seconds. Add sesame oil, stir and serve immediately. This recipe serves 4-5 adults. It’s very versatile; you can easily add/replace with your favorite veggies, additional spices/seasonings, etc.
