Shrimp Fried Rice

4 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 eggs, beaten with 1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
3 cups cold cooked white rice, broken into separate grains
1/2 cup frozen organic peas, thawed
1/4 pound barbecued pork, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Salt
Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat. Add 2
tablespoons of the peanut oil and swirl to coat the wok.
Add the shrimp and stir-fry just until pink, about 2
minutes. Remove shrimp and reserve. Add eggs to wok
and scramble until set, but still slightly runny. Remove
from pan, breaking into bite-sized pieces, and wipe wok
clean.
Return wok to heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons peanut
oil, and swirl to coat the wok. Reduce the heat to
medium-high, add the onions, garlic, and ginger and
stir-fry until onion is half-cooked, 1 minute. Add the red
pepper and stir-fry until just tender but still crisp, about 2
minutes. Add the cold rice, quickly spreading it all over
the wok and tossing it to heat through, then fry for about
5 to 7 minutes. (Add a little more oil if the rice is
sticking.) When the rice is hot, add the peas and toss to
heat through, about 1 minute. Add the pork, reserved
shrimp, eggs, and salt, and stirfry to heat thoroughly, 1 to
2 minutes. Serve immediately on a large platter.
