There are two ways you can do this recipe. You can boil your beans, dress them and serve immediately. I prefer it dressed and left to marinate in the fridge overnight, which gives you something closer to a pickled bean.

Scallop and Shrimp Chowder
This scallop and shrimp chowder makes a great weeknight meal. My sister-in-law brought some scallops from Nova Scotia, and they are awesome in this chowder. I add the broth, potatoes, corn, and flour to the slow cooker crock the night before, store it in the refrigerator, and just turn it on in the morning.
