In a large pot, melt butter and sauté the chopped shallot over medium heat.
Add all other ingredients with the exception of the seafood and seasoning.
Reduce heat to a medium/low setting and cook for 20 minutes.
Add desired seafood and continue cooking until the seafood is completely cooked through. Seafood cooks quickly, it shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes or so for this to be cooked.
Season to taste.
Chef’s Notes
I prefer crab and/or shrimp with this chowder.
I like to serve this in a bread bowl.
If you prefer your chowder a bit thinner, just add more stock.
I’m going to need a bigger bowl
