You think you know chowder? You think you are a chowder fan, aficionado… a chowder connoisseur? We beg to differ; we've got a chowder that you've never seen before, and its delights will tantalize your taste buds. Scrumptious scallops, sweet and tender, and bright corn, mixed with a broth good enough to drink. And on top, crispy jalapeños offer a crunch, spicy hit. You'll never look at good old clam or chicken chowder with the same love.

  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |

Customize It Instructions

  • If using 16 oz. scallops, follow same instructions as 8 oz. scallops, cooking until scallops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees.

  • If using 8 oz. shrimp or 16 oz. shrimp, pat dry. Follow same instructions as scallops in Step 4, cooking in batches if necessary until shrimp reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side.

  • If using diced chicken, pat dry. Follow same instructions as scallops in Step 4, stirring occasionally until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut potato into 1/2" dice.

    Stem and mince cilantro.

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" dice.

    Pat scallops dry and halve. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

  2. 2

    Start the Chowder

    Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add onion to hot pot and stir often until slightly softened but not browned, 3-4 minutes.

    Add potato, 1 3/4 cups water, mirepoix base, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil.

    Once boiling, cook until potatoes are tender, 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Finish the Chowder

    Add cream and corn to hot pot. Return to a boil.

    Once boiling, stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 6-8 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Taste, and season with 1/4 tsp. salt if desired.

    While chowder cooks, cook scallops.

  4. 4

    Cook the Scallops

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add scallops to hot pan and cook until scallops are browned and reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 1-2 minutes per side.
