  1. Place shrimp and scallops in a shallow baking dish. Mix vanilla seeds, orange zest, and orange juice in a small cup; brush over shellfish. Let stand at room temperature while preparing chowder.

  2. Coat a large pot with olive oil cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat; add corn, chiles, onion, cumin, oregano, and garlic. Cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add chicken broth; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes. Puree corn mixture with a stick blender (or in a regular blender and return puree to pot). Stir in half-and-half and 2 tablespoons of the cilantro; keep warm. Stir the remaining cilantro into diced tomatoes for a topping.

  4. While chowder is cooking, heat a stovetop grill pan over medium heat (or preheat broiler). Season shellfish with salt and pepper and coat with olive oil cooking spray. Grill or broil shellfish 2 minutes per side, or until just cooked through (do not overcook).

  5. Ladle chowder into 4 bowls and top with diced-tomato mixture. Serve with shellfish and warm flour or corn tortillas, if desired.
