Add carrots and celery to pan and cook for about 30 seconds or until half done. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan, if needed. Add shrimp and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or just until the color changes to pink. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
Wipe down wok as needed. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.

When it begins to thicken, add shrimp, quail eggs, celery, carrots, and snow peas. Continue to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through.
Serve hot.

Notes

Have your mise en place set up ahead of time. Since stir-fries are typically cooked quickly, it’s important to have the vegetables, shrimp, and other ingredients washed, cut, and ready to be added to the hot wok.
Use a wok for best results; its unique design allows even heating and easy distribution of ingredients. If you don't have one, you can also use a wide pan with slanted sides to allow room for ingredients to have contact with the heated surface and move around without spilling.
