Steps

Step 1

Mix the seafood seasoning. Toss the shrimp and scallops in it and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium. Add onion, scallion whites, garlic, ginger, and thyme sprigs. Cook 4 to 5 minutes until soft.

Step 3

Add allspice, cinnamon, and 2 tsp brown sugar. Stir for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the sweet potato, zucchini, squash, bay leaves, broth, the whole pepper, and the crab legs (if using). Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes, or until the sweet potato falls apart. Pull the crab at 15 minutes and set aside.

Step 5

Pull the pepper, thyme stems, and bay leaves. Blend in batches with half the coconut milk, blender half full, lid vented with a towel on top. Blend until silky. (Immersion blender works too; see tips.)

Step 6

Return to the pot over low heat. Stir in the remaining coconut milk. Add soy sauce, lime juice, and coconut brown sugar. Taste, then salt.

Step 7

Add the shrimp, scallops, mixed seafood (if any), and peas. Simmer 3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the scallops are opaque.

Step 8

Serve topped with scallion greens and a squeeze of lime. Add your protein on top (see the meal prep breakdown below).
