Recipe - Chowan Mushi - Japanese Steamed Egg Custard

8 Eggs; lightly beaten
1 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoon Dry sherry
One half cup Fresh peas; cooked
One fourth pound Shelled shrimp; finely
chopped

While continuing to beat the eggs, add the salt, sherry, peas, and shrimp.
Divide among 4 greased custard cups. Set the custard cups on a rack in a
deep saute pan or dutch oven. Cover with a piece of wax paper. Pour boiling
water down the sides of the pan to come one quarter of the way up the cups.
Cover the pan and simmer so that the custard steams for about 20 minutes,
or just until set. Do not boil.

Serving Ideas : good with stirfried vegetables

NOTES : If fresh peas are not available use thawed frozen.
