Method: 

 

In a stockpot, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp and browned, 4 to 6 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.

Add scallion whites and potatoes to pot; cook, stirring, until scallions are softened, 1 to 3 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add milk, seafood seasoning, thyme, and the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add corn, shrimp, and scallion greens. Cook until shrimp are just opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately topped with bacon and crackers, if desired.
