Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add green onions; saute 1 minute. Add rice; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add wine, and cook 1 minute or until liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly.

Add warm stock, ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of stock is absorbed before adding the next (about 20 minutes total). Add shrimp, corn, and lemon rind; cook 4 minutes or until shrimp is done, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in remaining ingredients.
