- Saute green onions in butter or oil in a heavy sauce pan until tender.
- Add flour, stirring constantly until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Gradually add milk, cooking over medium heat, stirring while cooking, until thickened and bubbly.
- Stir in hot sauce, pepper, salt, crabmeat and shrimp.
- Cook mixture over low heat until shrimp turns pink and looks and tastes done.
