Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by chopping your seafood mix, vegetables such as bell peppers and onions, and measuring out your spices and cheeses.
  2. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté them for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the seafood, broth, and beans. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the cream cheese until melted and fully combined.
  5. If the chili seems too thin, let it simmer on low heat for an additional 5–10 minutes.
  6. Finally, sprinkle in the cayenne pepper and any additional spices you desire, and let it simmer for a couple more minutes.
