Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and jalapeño to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 6

Add the hominy to the pot and continue simmering for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 7

Season the scallops and shrimp with salt and black pepper. Add them to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the scallops are just cooked through.

Step 8
