Ingredients
  

For the Chowder
  • 2 cups lobster meat, chopped
  • 1 cup scallops, chopped
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups potatoes, diced
  • 2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 4 cups seafood stock (or chicken stock)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chives or parsley for garnish
For Extra Flavors
  • 1 splash white wine Optional, adds great flavor
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes For a hint of heat

Method
 

Cooking the Chowder
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it’s crispy.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and seafood stock (or chicken stock) to the pot. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 15 minutes).
  4. Once potatoes are tender, add the corn, lobster, and scallops. Pour in the heavy cream and stir well.
  5. Add thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Allow it to simmer for another 5-10 minutes until everything is heated through. If you opted for wine, add it in at this point.
  6. Bowl it up, sprinkle some chives or parsley on top, and dig in!

Notes

Prep ingredients the night before to save time. A splash of lemon juice can replace white wine. Adjust thickness by adding seafood stock or water.
