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.

  • 4. Add the curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  • 6. Just before serving, add the shrimp and scallops. Gently simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the shellfish is firm. Add salt, pepper and more curry powder to taste.
  • 7. Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish each with chopped cilantro.
