Snow Peas with Shrimp and Quail Eggs Stir Fry

This is a real simple stir fry with snow peas, shrimp, and quail eggs in an oyster and soy sauce base. The addition of the quail eggs adds a creaminess to the stir fry. You can buy them at Asian markets in a can or fresh to hard boil for yourself. Either are good in my book. Serve the stir fry with steamed rice. This entire dish cost about $10 to make for 4 really large servings.
