Instructions

Step 1

Start by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once it’s melted, add the onion, green onions, celery, and bell pepper. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the veggies are nice and tender. Next, pour in the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, a can of water, the creamed corn, and the frozen corn. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, giving it a stir every so often to make sure it heats evenly.

Step 2

After that, add the shrimp to the pot and cook until they turn opaque. Then, stir in the half and half along with the parsley. Turn the heat down to low and let it cook gently for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Finally, mix in the liquid shrimp and crab boil seasoning plus the Creole seasoning. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed to finish it off.
