1-Let’s get cooking! First, gather all your ingredients like the butter, green onions, and seafood to make things smooth sailing from the start. In a large pot, melt the 2 cups of salted butter over medium heat and toss in the 6 finely chopped green onions, stirring until they’re nice and tender, which takes about 3 minutes.

2-Next, stir in the ½ cup of all-purpose flour until it’s fully mixed in, creating a base for your bisque. Now, add in the 1 pound of crawfish meat, 1 ½ pounds of raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and roughly chopped), ½ pound of crab meat, 4 cups of heavy cream, 4 cups of half and half, 1 can of creamed corn, 1 ½ teaspoons of Creole seasoning, 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, 2 teaspoons of freshly cracked black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

3-Bring everything to a simmer over medium-high heat, giving it a good stir as it heats up. Then, drop the heat to medium-low and let it cook for about 40 minutes, stirring often so it thickens up and all those flavors blend into something magical. Finally, ladle it into bowls, sprinkle on that optional ¼ cup of minced fresh chives, and serve with crusty bread if you’re in the mood.
