Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh or frozen large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 4 green onions

  • 2 teaspoons canola oil

  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced

  • 8 ounces fresh shiitake or oyster mushrooms, stemmed and coarsely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 (14 ounce) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 cup shelled sweet soybeans (edamame)

  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (Optional)

  • 1 cup trimmed sugar snap peas and/or coarsely shredded bok choy

  • Slivered green onions

Directions

  1. Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Rinse shrimp and pat dry with paper towels; set aside. Diagonally slice the whole green onions into 1-inch-long pieces, keeping white parts separate from green tops. Set green tops aside.

  2. In a large nonstick saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add white parts of the green onions, carrot and mushrooms; cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ginger and garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute more. Add chicken broth, water, soybeans, soy sauce and, if desired, crushed red pepper to mushroom mixture. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 5 minutes or just until carrot is tender.

  3. Add shrimp and pea pods and/or bok choy to saucepan. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp are opaque. Stir in green onion tops just before serving. If desired, garnish with slivered green onions.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
