A nice simple recipe that I been using for years, originally copied from a long forgotten [[Chinese]] recipe book. The Chinese influence, I guess, is that it's made from chicken stock rather than milk? It's really just a [[prawn]] [[omelette]]!

It's the sort of recipe that's great as a base; just mess about and add other things you fancy to make a very special meal.

They were very nice, not very Chinese though, do you think?
