Chop green onions and red bell pepper into small dice. Reserve the green parts of the green onions for later use.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the vegetables to the butter; stir to coat; cook over medium heat 4-5 minutes until softened.
Chop the shrimp meat into small chunks, either in halves or thirds if shrimp are jumbo.
Add in the prawns and garlic; stir well; cook 2 minutes until prawns have turned pink. Stir in cream cheese, sour cream and creole seasoning; bring to a simmer; cook 2 minutes until everything is thick and creamy. Stir in lemon juice and parsley; adjust the seasonings to taste.
