My sister-in-law brought some scallops from Nova Scotia. They are awesome in this chowder. I add the broth, potatoes, corn, and flour to the slow cooker crock the night before, store in the refrigerator, and just turn it on in the morning. Great weeknight meal.

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood. Fresh shrimp and scallops will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh seafood, frozen seafood is a good option. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your chowder, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or seafood broth.
  • Add vegetables. Vegetables add flavor and texture to your chowder. You can use any vegetables you like, but some good options include celery, carrots, onions, and potatoes.
  • Season to taste. Season your chowder with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Be careful not to over-season it, though.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers. Chowder is a hearty soup that's perfect for a cold day. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and scallop chowder is a classic New England dish that's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy broth, tender seafood, and flavorful vegetables, it's the perfect soup for a cold winter day.
