SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CHOWDER WITH COCONUT MILK
A seafood chowder with a tropical accent. Scotch Bonnet chiles are very hot, so use serrano or jalapeno if you like a milder taste. Also use only UNSWEETENED coconut milk, found in Asian sections of the grocery store. WARNING: Use latex gloves to seed chiles, since seeds contain volatile oils, which can get on fingers, and then in eyes or on lips and burn like H***! :)

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will also work, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality coconut milk: The coconut milk is a key ingredient in this chowder, so be sure to use a good quality brand. I recommend using a full-fat coconut milk for the best flavor.
- Add some spice: If you like spicy food, you can add some cayenne pepper or chili powder to the chowder. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Coconut shrimp chowder is the perfect comfort food on a cold day. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.

Coconut shrimp chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp.
