Quick and Super Easy Seafood Chowder

The Ides of March was particularly blustery this year in our region of Alaska. Cold and uncertain weather made for a perfect climate to settle in with a delicious bowl of a hearty, super easy, seafood chowder. Therefore, I made this super easy chowder to share at our Sunday, after-service, church potluck. I happily received hearty compliments and enthusiastic “thumbs -up” affirmations.

Even the kids will mmmmooaann with satisfied taste buds!

I have a grandson who loves to brag on the food I take to share for our church potluck. He goes through the serving line declaring to everyone in line with great enthusiasm, and a huge smile, ” My Gramma made this. It’s sooo delicious!” I try to cook meals my grandkids like so they’ll eat well and not just fill up on desserts at church. On occasion, one of our friends brings a cherry-rhubarb dessert that LaRozzi loves, and he warms both our hearts with his effusive compliments; proving once again that grandkids are good for the soul! Gramma’s Sweetheart, Rozzi!

Larozzi holds a special place in my heart. He recently told his mom, “I had five bowls of chowder in church. It was sooo good!”

Set aside into separate bowls, your seafood prepared in this way:

Crack shell & Cut the meat of one large/very large KING crab leg into approx. 1 inch piece Remove tail shells of 12 medium-large raw, deveined shrimp and cut into thirds Cut 4 large, raw scallops into 4-6 pieces each. Slightly chop 1/3 to 1/2 pkg. of Wild Caught Alaska Smoked Salmon Lox (ALWAYS use Wild

Next:

Saute` over medium heat in 1-2 Tbs melted Organic Butter ( or your preferred kind) : 4 Tbs chopped real bacon until it makes some of its own oil–then add 6 Tbs diced/chopped Onion-I used regular non-sweet white onion 1 Large stalk, small-chopped Celery

Saute’ in a tall stainless steel pot for easy storage in reefer if not eating right away.

When the onion and celery are softened and slightly translucent, ADD: Four (4) Cups whole milk Five (5) cans of prepared Clam Chowder– I used the Chunky kind

Stir constantly to help prevent scorching of milk

WHEN GENTLY SIMMERING and STEAMY- ADD: First: Alaska Wild Caught Smoked Salmon Lox. Let simmer a minute for flavor to blend Second: King Crab meat -carefully screened for shell scraps or pieces of ligament Third: Large cut Scallops or Small Scallops (amount to your preference). I used large scallops and cut them and they practically melted in my mouth. I only mentioned this because some folks have an issue with food textures. ADD: a Pinch and a half of Dill Weed- stirring in to meld the flavors together smoothly Last: 12 Cut Shrimp Cook only a few minutes until shrimp and scallops are done, BUT TENDER, and your flavors are well established with a slight smoked flavor from your smoked salmon. Feel free to add additional smoked salmon for a more smoked salmon flavor because it is So delicious! Garnish with a small amount of Fresh Parsley and One stalk of chopped green Scallion-some stirred in, to add a nuance of flavor.
