*Save time and buy your shrimp already cooked in the freezer aisle.

** When cracking open a Quail egg, the membrane, the thin lining behind the shell can be tough to break. Use the point of a knife to get it started and then continue to break open egg as you normally would.

*** Wasabi is a Japanese horseradish and can be quite spicy. Use to your liking.
