I wanted to cook shrimps adobo but we only have few pcs. of shrimps left at the fridge , so I added the quail eggs on it. Some people cook shrimps adobo by frying the shrimps first followed by the spices, but I always preferred to saute the spices first then the shrimps, unlike chiken, shrimps are quicker to cook and the sauce will be more tastier if it was not fried first.
Ingredients:
350 gm medium or large shrimps peeled and deviened leaving the tails on
12 pcs. Quail eggs, boiled then shelled
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp. vinegar
3-4 tbsp. soy sauce
¼ tsp. black pepper powder
1 tbsp. oyster sauce
2 tbsp. cooking oil
Directions:
1. Heat cooking oil in a pan, sauté garlic until slightly brown, then add onions. Saute for 30 seconds.
2. Add shrimps and the rest of ingredients except oyster sauce, stir to mix well. Cook for 5 minutes or until shrimps are done.
3. Add oyster sauce, cook for 10 seconds. Turn off heat and serve.
