Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (I use 6, actually)
1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, diced
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
1/4 cup flour
2 cups clam juice
2 cups skim milk
1 tablespoon anise, finely ground
1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
1 1/2 lbs sea scallops, cut in 1-inch pieces
8 ounces shrimp, tail off and deveined
1 cup half-and-half (fat free works great)

Steps:

  • Saute onion and celery in skillet or dutch oven coated with cooking spray for about 5 minutes (or until tender).
  • Add minced garlic and saute another minute.
  • Add diced potato, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoons pepper; cook another 2 minutes. Sprinkle flour over potato mixture and cook another minute or two.
  • Add clam juice and skim milk; bring just to a boil, stirring constantly, and then reduce heat immediately. Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  • With a slotted spoon, remove at least 2 cups of potato/celery/onion mixture. Puree and add back to soup.
  • Stir in remaining salt and pepper, as well as aniseseed and thyme. (Note re: anise -- it makes a big difference in flavor if you can buy whole aniseseed and grind it yourself. If not, just use bottled ground anise.) Simmer 10 minutes.
  • Add scallops and shrimp; cook about 5 minutes, or until shellfish are cooked.
  • Add half-and-half and cook a few more minutes, until heated thoroughly.

THAI SHRIMP



Thai Shrimp image

Here's the Asian way of chopping ginger: Scrape off the skin with the edge of a small spoon. Then cut it into very thin slices across the grain. Lay the slices in a single layer on half of a sheet of plastic wrap; fold the other half over the ginger. Pound the ginger slices with the flat side of a meat mallet. They'll separate into natural fibers. Scrape them together and chop them into small pieces. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

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***! :)
