INSTRUCTIONS

TO COOK PRAWNS: Leaving the shells of the prawns intact, insert the
toothpicks along the inside curves to prevent curling.  Drop the  prawn
into 3/4 pt of boiling water and cook briskly, uncovered, for  about 3
minutes until pink and firm.  Drain in a sieve and cool  quickly under
cold running water.  Remove the toothpicks and peel the  prawns,
leaving the last section of shell and tail on each one.  De-vein the
prawns by making a shallow incision  across their tops  with a small,
sharp knife. Lift out the vein. Butterfly the prawns by  cutting along
their inner curves 3/4 of the way through, spreading  the open and
flattening with a cleaver. MARINADE Put the vinegar,  water, salt,
sugar and MSG into a mixing bowl and stir together  thoroughly.  Add
the prawns, marinade at room temperature for 1 hour.  FILLING Drop the
egg yolks into a small saucepan and beat lightly  with a fork. Remove 2
1/2 t of the yolks and set aside. Add 3/4 pt of  water to the remaining
yolks, stir thoroughly, and cook over a  moderate heat for 10-15
minutes until the yolks are firm and  hard-boiled. Drain them in a
sieve, and mash them into a paste. Beat  the sugar, salt, salt, lemon
juice, MSG, and the rest of the raw egg  yolks and continue to beat.
Rub the mixture through a fine sieve. TO  ASSEMBLE AND SERVE Divide the
seasoned egg filling into 6 equal parts  and pack each part into the
center of a prawn. Seal the edges by  pressing them together. Serve at
room temperature.  From "Recipes-The Cooking of Japan" from Time-Life
