SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CHOWDER WITH COCONUT MILK



Shrimp and Scallop Chowder With Coconut Milk image

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***! :)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lb uncooked medium shrimp
1 lb large sea scallops
1/2 scotch bonnet pepper, seeded and minced
4 shallots, peeled and minced
2 clove garlic, peeled and minced
3 green onions, minced
1-inch piece fresh gingerroot, peeled and minced
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and diced
3 Tbsp butter
2 tsp curry powder
6 c fish stock (or bottled clam juice)
2 c coconut milk, unsweetened
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 c cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and devein the shrimp and cut into 1 inch pieces.
  • 2. Cut large scallops in quarters, medium sized ones in half, so that all are the same size. NOTE: Bay scallops (the small ones) may be used if sea scallops not available. No need to cut, since they are usually about the same size.
  • 3. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Cook chile, shallots, garlic, scallions, ginger and bell peppers over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft but not browned.
  • 4. Add the curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  • 7. Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish each with chopped cilantro.

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.

Conclusion:

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. The creamy coconut milk and flavorful shrimp make this chowder a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give coconut shrimp chowder a try.
