INGREDIENT CHALLENGE: EGGPLANT! Roasted Eggplant w/ Garlicky Shrimp Sauce
This recipe is the first of our "Ingredient Challenge"! Here's the idea: I will create a dish around a specific ingredient suggested by one of YOU. I can only use 5 additional ingredients (plus some freebie staples), and I will film me cooking it for the first time, unrehearsed, and I have to do it in 20 minutes! Can I do it?

The idea is that I want to build a repertoire of simple, quick recipes using everyday ingredients that are easy to find. I might use a harder-to-source Thai ingredient but I'll try to keep it that to no more than 1 ingredient per dish.  

Looks like I may have to pick up the pace a bit for next time, but hey...I'm super pregnant right now and moving quickly is NOT easy!
