Just for those of you wondering what i was making, it is called Killer
Shrimp. It is a copy cat recipe from an awesome restaurant (with the
same name) in LA.

Here's the recipe. http://soup.allrecipes.com/az/86991.asp

I was striving to make it exactly as in the restaurant and my
perfectionist/OCD kicked in. I'll let you all know how it turned
out.
