Fried Rice with Shrimp

Serves 4, or keep some for lunchtime leftovers. Nutritional info listed at the bottom.

1 tbs + 1tsp canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 scallions (green onions) thinly sliced
1tbs peeled and minced fresh ginger (optional)
4 c. cooked brown rice
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
3/4 c. frozen shelled edamame, cooked according to package directions & drained
1/2c. fresh or frozen (thawed) corn kernels
16 oz shelled, deveined shrimp, thawed and pat dry (guessing at the amount- do your best to gauge how much you think 4 people will eat)
2 large eggs, beaten
3tbs low-sodium soy sauce

Heat 1 tbs of the oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add the garlic, scallions, and ginger and cook, stirring until softened and aromatic, 1-2 minutes. Add the cooked red bell pepper and shrimp. Saute for 2 minutes (shrimp will not be cooked all the way through- this is ok.) Add the edamame, corn and rice and cook until heated through- 5 minutes. Make a 3-inch well in the center of the rice mixture. Add the remaining 1 tsp oil, then add the eggs and cook until nearly fully scrambled. Stir the eggs into the rice mixture, then add the soy sauce and incorporate thoroughly. Serve hot.
