Using Edwin Martin's jQuery plugin for shadow animation, which extends the .animate method, you can simply use the normal syntax with "boxShadow" and every facet of that - "color, the x- and y-offset, the blur-radius and spread-radius" - gets animated:

$(selector).animate({ boxShadow : "0 0 5px 3px rgba(100,100,200,0.4)" });

Edit: Now includes multiple shadow support.
