Aaaaah okay. I'll be in limited touch over the weekend--my youngest in graduating from University...playing host and such. :friday
 
Al,
encouraging people to cook is a great and worthy idea.
Here in the UK cooking is no longer taught in schools, so unwrapping a pizza and setting the timer on a microwave is the sum total of their culinary skills.
But I don't think you will get many takers by stipulating the ingredients, it's just too much hassle.
How about a general contest where people submit whatever they've made that week, perhaps with a seafood theme.
Then you could judge the best plate of food based on difficulty and originality.
Hopefully there will be a few more contestants that way.
 
not sure about the comp but the missus made a save meal with some fresh mackerel and cod i caught.

Mix some olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and ground cumin into a paste. Fillet fish and score skin to flesh. rub marinade all over and let sit for 30mins. Grill 3mins each side. Serve with a nice salad....

WOW!!!!
 
Also caught a big cod the other day.

Cut up whole potatoes (leaving skin on) into chunky chips. Cover with generous olive oil, season with large sea salt crystals and coarse ground black pepper. Stir all very well. Preheat oven to its hottest setting and cook til crispy and soft in middle (bout 25-35mins)

Mixed some beer and flour in a big bowel with a hint of cumin powder and paprika. Flour some large fillets and throw into batter.

Shallow fry in large paella pan (or any pan large enough that will spread heat) for 4 mins a side then bang in heated oven for a further 5 mins.

Yum... some pics here http://forums.deeperblue.com/ireland/89481-ireland-spearing-2011-a-39.html#post845307

We have scallops, we have asparagus, and we have proscuitto, stay tuned folks, tomorrow's lunch will be our entry.
 
I prefer to give y'all a "basket" of basic ingredients 2 or 3 items and then off to the races! For instance Bobdonny's fish is straight forward and well done. Plated nicely (love it when a fillet hangs over the edge of an ample plate...hmmm ample--let's not get distracted). However his offering would be upstaged by a sole or flounder prepared whole! :head Not fair--let's get everyone evened out with the ingredients, plus what you have at hand in your home pantry or region and get'er done! If you must sub out an ingredient due to availability let me know and keeping it in the same vein--shellfish for shellfish/palagic fillet for like fillet I'll make a ruling. :chatup Remember it's my kitchen. :martial

Ok Ladies and Gentlemen!

Here we go with the first entry :

Crispy Prosciutto Wrapped Scallops and Asparagus.

Ingredients:
12 Scallops with Roe
12 Asparagus Spears
6 strips of Prosciutto

Method:
1) Clean scallops of "poop-tubes"

2) Trim asparagus of woody end and discard ends

3) Blanch asparagus, then throw into cold water

4) Lay two spears side by side

5) Place two scallops on each with roe overlapping in centre

6) Wrap tightly with cut down strips of prosciutto, trimmed so it covers all of the scallops

7) Cook bundles, both sides, with hot pan until prosciutto is crispy

8) Season with salt and pepper

10) Consult your baby for correct ingredient usage

11) Serve and relax
