Sipo Egg is a Filipino quail egg and shrimp recipe that originated in Pampanga, Philippines and is normally served as a side dish, however, this makes a lot, and is delicious as a main dish, just serve with rice and you have an excellent meal. This is the creamy version of this dish, and it is easy to prepare, and is delicious. There is also a non creamy version of this which I have not made yet. Oddly, the first time I made this, I was in the states and made this for my parents, and they loved it.
