This is from a recipe book I recently bought entitled Chinese Cooking Made Easy. They describe the dish as follows "The Chinese name for this dish is Yuan Yang Prawns (Shrimp). Pairs of mandarin ducks are also know as yan yang, or love birds, because they are always seen together. The often symbolize affection and happiness." This dish is usually part of banquet. Times are estimated.
