Eye of the Tiger (Shrimp)

So here I am, working, cooking, trying to get my crap in order, and now, amidst pie and cupcake contests- blam- I'm a part of the RedEye Virtual Kitchen Cook-off, judged by Rick Bayless, no less. I'm feeling pretty good about it, and it totally helps that I'm in the 2nd round, so I get a little preview before it's my turn to whip up the culinary masterpieces that I do. :)

I'll be posting pictures and thoughts here for the challenge, along with viral spamming of facebook and twitter and youtube, should I decide to post a video. Follow all the action by checking @redeyemunchtime on twitter or chicagonow.com/blogs/redeye/munch-time/ Long enough for you?

ALSO, next Tuesday, whomever wants to come over and eat my delicious meal after all my documenting is totally welcome...provided you do some social networking about it :) Muhahahaha...evil laugh...but seriously, help a sister out.
