Seafood Posole With Wild Blue Mexican Shrimp & Sea Scallops

Seafood Posole With Wild Blue Mexican Shrimp & Sea Scallops

Posole is a classic Mexican soup, a cultural staple here in Northern New Mexico where the Beck & Bulow team is based. Traditionally made with pork or chicken, this fresh seafood take on the classic dish is a new favorite for me. Posole is known for its hominy base with a healthy dose of chile. If you can’t find hatch green chile sauce, tomatillo salsa or salsa verde will work just fine. Adjust the amount accordingly depending on the spiciness of the chiles and your personal preferences.

Uniquely Fresh & Delicious Scallops From Cape Cod

These Cape Cod scallops have a uniquely sweet and light flavor from the extremely cold sea water they live in. They are shucked at sea immediately upon being caught and are the largest scallops you can get. They’re perfect for any dish or preparation and are a beautiful light beige in color. Scallops are sought after for their delicate taste and texture, considered by many to be one of the ultimate luxuries in seafood. They’re actually extremely easy to prepare, but impressive and special enough for your most memorable occasions.

There’s two varieties of scallops, sea scallops and bay scallops. Sea scallops are around three times larger than the bay variety. There is a system of size classification for scallops that indicates how many are needed to make a pound. Ours are U/10, indicating that ten or less are required for a one pound weight. They are incredibly versatile and easy to cook. For large scallops like these, searing or grilling is typically one of the easiest and tastiest options. They have a rich, buttery, slightly sweet and oceany flavor that is complex and elegant.

Fair Trade Certified Wild Caught Blue Mexican Shrimp

Wild caught Mexican blue shrimp are renowned for the excellent, sweet flavor and tender yet crisp texture. They’re large in size and have a beautiful blue hue when uncooked. They are caught using the most sustainable methods in existence for harvesting shrimp. Fishermen use small-scale sailboats and an artisanal technique known as suripera. This method involves using the wind and tides to skillfully drift a highly selective net, resulting in the lowest fuel consumption and bycatch rates in the world.

Bycatch is the term for marine animals, like dolphins, turtles and others, who are harmed in the process of fishing for seafood. Additionally, these are the only Fair Trade certified shrimp on the planet. It’s never been more important than it is now to choose seafood options that are conscious of environmental impact. Our sources go above and beyond industry standards taking care every step of the way to protect the oceans, the wildlife and their employees.

Instructions:

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large, deep cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion until soft and fragrant. Add the garlic to the skillet and stir, allowing it to cook for approximately 30 seconds.
