Step 1
Start by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the onion, green onions, celery, and bell pepper, and cook everything together until the veggies are nice and tender. Next, add the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, a can of water, creamed corn, and frozen corn to the pot. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring now and then so it heats through evenly.

Step 2
Once the stew is warmed up, stir in the shrimp and cook just until they turn opaque. Then, pour 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 and Creole seasoning. Give it a taste and add salt and pepper as needed before serving.

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid overcooking the shrimp. This stew can also be frozen, but shrimp may become a bit rubbery after thawing.
