How To Make shrimp and scallop chowder with brie

  • Step 1
    Heat butter in a large saucepan, over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute for 10 minutes, until onion is soft but not browned.
  • Step 2
    Add water, hashbrowns and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are done, about 10 minutes. Stir in brie and stir until cheese is melted.
  • Step 3
    Stir in shrimp, scallops and cream. Bring back to simmer and cook until shrimp and scallops are done, about 5 minutes. Do not over cook.
  • Step 4
    Remove bay leaf and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
  • Step 5
    NOTE: To remove rind from brie, place brie in freezer for 30 minutes, then trim rind off with a sharp knife. Cut brie into pieces to help melt faster.
