contest The Next Throwdown is...

Not ideal, but Trader Joe's has it in 12-oz packages, roasted and lightly salted, no nitrites. $4.99/pkg.
 
And my local permanent farmers market will order it if they don't have it in-stock, with 24-hours notice. $3.99/lb.
 
Looks like I'm in.

I saw that one that's why I added the disclaimer of allowing it like that.

Hope you find the best one for you.

I am going with raw but wanted to post my findings in case it helps anyone else out.

My boss is on spring break so I'm on call this weekend. And honestly, this confuses me, but it has already been a bad 4 days - my brain is fried. I'm out, but looking forward to watching.

It's the following weekend

I would enter except I'll be out of town, and....I'm allergic to shrimp. I love the concept and the ingredients sound fun to mix together.

Spring break here but we expect to have the kids buried by then in the basement...

I'll be doing a clown car prize box for the winner of this one.

 

[grantmichaels]

Nice, Boss ...

 

[Vicious Vex]

I'm most likely going to be entering.

I have shopped around, I have pork belly locally, and I have everything else on hand. Minus the mystery ingredient.

I may have work come up, and I won't be able to make the deadline. Work has been crazy recently.

Hard to beat a real seafood stock for soups like She-crab and clam chowder!
