Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook bacon in a large pot over medium-high until crispy, ~5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    In the same pot, melt butter in the bacon fat. Add potatoes and stir to coat.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender, ~8 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add seafood and cream. Stir gently and simmer until shrimp turns pink and scallops are opaque, ~4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Crumble bacon back in. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
