đź’ˇ Chef's Tips for Success
-
Searing the Scallops (Optional): For an extra layer of flavor, lightly sear the scallops in a separate pan with a touch of butter for 1 minute per side before adding them to the chowder in Step 5. This adds beautiful color and caramelization.
-
The Potato Mash: For a thicker consistency, mash about $1/4$ of the cooked potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the cream and seafood. The starch will naturally thicken the chowder without needing more flour.
-
Freezing: Chowder with a cream base does not freeze well, as the cream can separate upon thawing. This recipe is best enjoyed fresh within 3-4 days.
🍷 Wine Pairing Suggestion
This rich, buttery chowder pairs perfectly with a crisp, medium-bodied white wine. A Chardonnay (unoaked or lightly oaked) or a Dry Rosé would cut through the creaminess and complement the sweetness of the lobster and scallops.
